The first swimming Friday was a blast! Students get to go to Embe to swim once a month! They have a blast when K-1, then 4-5, and 2-3 get to swim together! So much fun!
Congrats to our High Flyers! We are proud you worked hard to be a good leader this week! Way to go!

Kids Care for 4th and 5th graders kicked off last Friday with an introduction to what they will all be volunteering for this year and then they picked up trash at Elmwood Park! Thanks for keeping our neighborhood clean!
Mary Jo Arboretum is so beautiful this time of year with the leaves changing for fall! On October 4th, Mrs. Ernster's 3-4 EIC blend and Miss Leloux's 3rd grade ACE class took a field trip together to check out the awesome sites during a nature scavenger hunt, learned about classrooms of the past, and explored the trails! It was so fun to go as buddy classrooms and learn together! They had the most perfect day outside for this field trip!! Thanks to all of the volunteers at Mary Jo Arboretum who led each station and to our parents/helpers who helped out as chaperones! It was a great day!
Chess Club started up this week for fifth, fourth, and third graders! There were only 30 spots and there were over 40 kids interested in learning chess from Chess Master David Kerkhove! Thank you to Anthony Pizer for leading the charge in getting chess back! The kids were chanting "Chess Club" in the halls on the way there today! So fun!
On September 29th, the ACE kindergarten and third graders went on their buddy classroom field trip to Riverview Tree Farm and Pumpkin Patch! It was a hot, beautiful day to be out on a hayride to pick a pumpkin, learn about the Christmas Tree Farm, launch some gourds, and play on the inflatables! The kids had a blast! Thank you to all of the parents who drove and helped chaperone!
K-2 Science Club meets on Wednesdays after school. This week they were paleontologists digging for fossils! How cool! Thanks to all of the parents who help make this possible and to Sharla Svennes for organizing it! The kids were having a blast!
