Our students have been busy exploring geometry in a hands-on way during STEAM class in the library! (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics)

They started by learning about vertices, edges, and different 2D and 3D shapes. Then came the challenge—building shapes using marshmallows and toothpicks, followed by constructing towers to test which structure could hold the most weight.

The winning tower held 38 pencils and FOUR books! Congratulations to Beckett, Jace, John, Blake, and Osten! https://www.facebook.com/reel/2230382190790972

Mrs. Brunsberg’s Spanish students created beautiful ofrendas in celebration of Día de los Muertos (celebrated November 1 & 2)!

Students had the choice to design their ofrenda in remembrance of someone who has passed, or in honor of someone who is still living.

Great work, everyone!

Penny Wars are here!

Get ready for some competition, because Penny Wars start Monday morning! Each grade will compete to see who can earn the most points by bringing in your spare change and dollars for a bonus! All of our amazing donations will be gifted to Henning HOPE to help buy presents for the holidays!

Here’s how it works:
- There are two bins - a Positive Bin and a Negative Bin.
- Put money in your grade’s Positive Bin to help your team.
- Put money in another grade’s Negative Bin to bring their score down!
The grade with the highest total by Friday morning wins!

We also have special goals to reach so stop by the table by the cafeteria each morning to check them out and see our progress!

Then on Friday after lunch, we’ll celebrate any goals we’ve met with a Pep Fest!
Plus, we’ll be hosting a 6th - 12th grade Halloween Costume Contest during the pep fest! If you’re unsure about your costume, check with Mr. Williams beforehand.

So gather your spare change and let’s make this week one to remember. Penny Wars begin Monday morning!
