It’s been an exciting week in 4th grade! Students compared literary genres in reading, explored the cultures of American Indians in social studies, and conducted experiments on force and motion in science. These young learners are showing that curiosity and hands-on learning make the best combination

We had so much fun when the McTown Klownz visited! Their fire safety show was full of laughter, learning, and important reminders for our students. Thank you for keeping safety fun!

What an unforgettable limo ride to CiCi’s Pizza!
We laughed, sang, and had a blast — and lunch with Mrs. Larriviere and Mrs. Harvick made it extra special!

3rd graders explored force and motion and even a power outage didn’t stop their motivation to learn! These students kept experimenting, discovering, and having fun, proving that curiosity can’t be turned off!

Hands-on learning at its best! Check out our mathematicians hard at work during math stations today!

From spooky spiders to friendly ghosts, our Boo Reading Buddies are making reading boo-tifully fun! We love seeing our Minshew Colts reading 20 minutes a day with their new pals!
This morning our school may have lost electricity, but not our spark for learning! Our teachers and students stayed flexible, adapted quickly, and made the most of every moment. So proud of this amazing school community!

Force + motion = fun in 5th grade! Students built ramps, tested their ideas, and discovered how science moves the world!

The staff had fun today with Mumu Monday! Cozy, colorful, and full of school spirit—our team knows how to make Monday amazing!

Learning is better together! Our 5th graders practiced multiplying and dividing decimals with their Ready, Set, Teach! teacher from Boyd High School. What an awesome day of teamwork and teaching!

Our 5th graders took science outside today with a classic game of tug-of-war! As part of their unit on forces, students experienced firsthand how pushes and pulls, teamwork, and balanced vs. unbalanced forces affect motion. What a fun way to make science come alive!


Happy Custodian Day!

And the fun didn’t stop there… everyone got a special birthday treat — a sticker AND a popsicle!
Thanks for making it such a joyful and unforgettable day, Bolt!
