Our 10th grade students are getting hands on experience practicing CPR as part of their CPR Certification course. During this training, students learn the proper techniques for chest compressions, emergency response steps, and how to act quickly in a life threatening situation.
These important skills help prepare students to respond confidently during emergencies and potentially save lives in their communities.
We are proud of our students for taking this training seriously and building skills that truly make a difference.

Ready… Set… READ! 🏃♀️📖🏃♂️

Our first graders have been scientists, explorers, and real world problem solvers all in the span of two days.
February 26th, we welcomed Hanford Mills to our classroom. Students learned how water can carry pollution into lakes, rivers, and oceans. Then they rolled up their sleeves and put their skills to the test, working to clean polluted water and protect our environment. Future environmental heroes in the making. 🌎💧
February 27th, 1st grade took their learning on the road to the Kaleidoscope in Mount Tremper. Students experienced how light bends and reflects to create dazzling patterns and designs. It was more than just beautiful visuals. It connected directly to our Lights, Sounds, and Communication and States of Matter science units.
They are discovering how light interacts with different materials, how sound and visuals help us communicate, and how science shows up everywhere in the world around them.
Hands on learning. Bright ideas. Big curiosity. ✨
