Mrs. Trimble's class had a virtual visit from a past student. We enjoyed listening to a book and checking in with Matt Parker via Zoom while he is away at school.
Mr. Snively's class played "Eat or Be Eaten" in science class today. In this game, students develop their thinking about predator/prey relationships between living things by creating food chains. The goal is to make the longest food chain!

Pre-K Back to School Night
Picture Day - Tues. Sept. 5th
Twas the night before school and all through the district, little Hawks were stirring to ready for bed. In hopes that the school bus to their home soon would be led.
The parents were elated, all giddy with joy. With visions of quiet homes that soon would deploy.
All the teachers and school staff were ready for what awaits, with promise that a great school year will be their fate.
When in the morning there rose such a clatter, moms and dads arose to see what's the matter. When what did their wondering eyes did appear, but little boys and girls dressed all in Hawks gear. The kiddos were excited, the parents delighted.
Finally, the first day of school was here!
Welcome back! Make it a great year!
