Science News
Teachers,
We are collecting up-cycled materials for our 5th Graders' Egg Drop Design Challenge. If you have any materials that students could use in their design, please place them in the pink bin inside the science closet between now and December 13th. We are in need of shoe boxes (or any box around the size of a shoe box), bubble wrap, packaging peanuts, egg cartons, or anything a student might use to create & decorate their container. These materials will be for students who are having a difficult time collecting their own materials at home. We want all 5th graders to participate in this awesome event. If you have any questions, please see or email Mrs. Roth. Thank you!

Thank You!
A BIG THANK YOU to all who helped make the PBIS Amazing Race so AMAZING! Our staff really got into character to make the evening so much fun for the students and parents! AND Who knew our staff had such acting talent! Hilarious! We’ve got some great video footage to share! To top it all off, in pure teacher fashion, everyone cleaned their stations up and had everything back to the way it was, which made it so nice for us to pack up and go! WE LOVE OUR LION PRIDE! It was a long day for all and we are so appreciative of those who stayed and were able to support. We couldn’t have done it with out you!
