In recognition of the Olympics recently, teachers competed in various versions of Olympic events. Pictured is our hockey competition with Mrs. Muller earning gold.




The third graders have been learning all about sound-sound waves, pitch, travel speed, you name it! Students challenged their teachers to name the students using only the sound of the students' voice. Then we did the challenge as a whole school where the teachers had to name each other only using the sound of voices.


Kindergarten and second grade partner reading...building relationships and literacy skills.

Kindergarten and second grade reading buddies





We are the champions!

When you check out books from Mrs. Olson in the library and Whippet wrestlers are competing at state...the best of both!


Our elementary hallways were filled with pride and excitement as we celebrated our high school wrestlers who are headed to STATE!
Smiles, high-fives, and words of encouragement showed just how much our younger students look up to these incredible role models.
Good luck at State! We are proud of you! 💜🐾
