In STEM, first grade students listed to the story Iggy Peck, Architect and then became architects themselves. They were tasked with building a house with four walls and a roof, using only index cards. As you can see, they had a variety of ideas for design and construction!
Our Veterans Day program included music provided by our fifth and sixth grade students and a very special guest speaker. Michelle Robles, one of our custodians, talked about her time in the Navy.
Thank you to all who have served our country!
