What an amazing sight today! Our graduating seniors returned to Minshew this morning, and it was such a special moment. They walked the halls with smiles, visited old friends and teachers, and shared fond memories of their elementary days. The highlight? Hearing them recite the Minshew Chant and the Minshew Agreements - proof once a Colt, always a Colt! We’re so proud of these students and excited for their future!

Kindergarten Science Recently, our kindergarten class has been diving into the fascinating world of animal research. We started by observing different parts of animals and connecting how these structures help them meet their needs. For example, we looked at how a pelican's mouth is perfect for catching food, how claws and paws help animals grasp objects, ears for hearing, and fins for swimming. Each student then chose their own animal to research. They wrote about their chosen animal, illustrated it, and created their own research booklet. Through this project, students learned about their animal's habitat, diet, and body features. It was wonderful to see our students so engaged in their research and to witness their unique personalities reflected in the animals they chose!
