Today, Mrs. McFarland's 3rd graders did the "smarties challenge" and talked about variables, perseverance, and how we continue to try hard things and that helps us get better at doing something hard.





Students in Ms. Ciccarone's 3rd grade class worked together to save Fred the worm! Almost every team was successful, and, most importantly, there was amazing teamwork!





Mr. Hallett's 5th graders worked on math skills with our kindergarteners!







Mrs. Day's class worked on some review games today!





We are ready for a great year in PE. The first few weeks we will be doing a mix of fitness testing and football…. Work hard , play hard!! 🏈
