With your support, we can do it!
Our work is more valuable because of your support.
DPI Recognition
We hope you saw the annoucement from Ron about the Department of Public Instruction recognizing our work with the children in our school. I believe that it takes all of us pulling on the same end of the rope to get the job done for our students. Many thanks for the continued support and we hope you take a moment to enjoy a little notoriety. Feels good.
PJ Day for the Corral Celebration is Monday 2/15! Way to go!!!
For your calendars, we are celebrating the full Mustang Corral with the well-earned mustangs by our students. Please add this to your Sunday night plans for Monday morning. We are asking that stuffed animals stay at home for this day. By the way, the children voted this as their celebration as they cast their ballots in late January during the lunch hour.
Please help keep the rear parking lot safe for everyone!
Hi to all of our drivers in the afternoon who bring a vehicle to pick up children after school. The safety of our students is our #1 job, inside and outside of school. It is imperative that this is kept in mind as families are moving around the parking lot. I encourage you to know that stopping to wait for the children at the curb is not recommended, or acceptable. Please keep moving or find a spot to park and then go to meet the kids. Parking along the fence is not a safe practice as the kids are walking around the cars to find their rides. We need your help. Thanks!
Fingerprints continue to make our school fun!
Years ago, our school counselor had an idea to have the kids feel like they belong to a bigger community. Jackie Kohnert, our current counselor, continues that practice, with the help of Mrs. Liethen and Mrs. Webber(volunteers) to paint the palms of our 5Kers and new students and place their hands on the wall. They then print their names below for all to see and remember.

Weather studies include a visit from a weatherman
Second graders have been studying weather in their current science module. The teachers invited Tom Wachs from Fox6 News to visit and he sure made a hit with our students. Ms Schwartz provided a link https://youtu.be/7ZPCjaHrqeI for you to check things out. He was impressed with the content known by the kids and the terrific questeions that they asked.
