School Carnival
On Wednesday, we had a student run school carnival. Students opened booths for lots of fun activities including face painting, puppet toss, archery, and water games.
Grade 6 Graduation Event
Congratulations to our 6th grade students who are moving on the Middle School. We had a joyful celebration on Wednesday night with a delicious potluck dinner, beautiful slideshows celebrating each child's life, and a graduation ceremony. A huge thank you to Rachel Bent and Deb Chamberlain for organizing this event. Best of luck to our graduates. Please keep in touch!
Pre K Culmination Event
Teacher Harriet, Ms. Gwen, and Ms. Tammy led our Pre School students in a culmination event this week. True to our Forest Education Early Childhood mission, students celebrated by jumping off a stump and singing songs.
Rocket Science
Ms. Shands led students in grades 5 and 6 in rocket science this week. They built rockets and launched them. Each rocket had a hard boiled egg inside to test the gentleness of the landing. Some of the eggs made it!
Water fun on the last day
We had some simple fun on the last day. Students put a big tarp on the hill and made a big homemade slip and slide.
Have a great summer!
