Jimmy Strand from the I.U.5 was in Mrs. Smith's Kindergarten class showing our Kindergarteners how to use a new math tool called a Rekenrek.

Students in Mr. Gebauer's 6th grade Social Studies simulated the experiences of the 13 colonies under the Articles of Confederation, which was the first form of government in the United States.

The gifted students had an opportunity to check out the "chill room" at FHS with Mrs. Enterline and Evie, her therapy dog. The students enjoyed checking out the space and giving Evie some treats. The chill room is a place that students have the opportunity to utilize if they feel the need for a break if they are feeling overwhelmed. Our students really enjoyed the visit and even expressed how they'd like to visit again!
