Boys wrestling is at the ACGC Tournament and our Show Choir teams are in Sioux Falls!


Thursday afternoon felt like 60 degrees. 1st graders wrapped up the Sun and Moon unit in Science with a shadow investigation. Students traced each other's shadows and investigated making their shadow bigger and smaller as well as moving their shadow around and why it moved the way it did. We also took a few extra minutes to play and enjoy the sunshine!



🌟 Congratulations to our January High School Students of the Month! 🌟
