Next week is Read Across America Week! We will celebrate with a different theme each day.
Congratulations to Ambur Withrow and Seirra Forristall for being named February Staff of the Month!
Nominations from colleagues included:
Mrs. Withrow: “Mrs. Withrow goes out of her way to support other teachers and staff that need a helping hand. From providing support, stepping in when someone needs a break, to being a mentor, you can always count on her to be there when help is needed. She also provides a loving yet structured environment for her students so they know they are valued and can feel safe at school.”
Mrs. Forristall: “Sierra goes above and beyond everyday. She takes so many different roles. She never complains and is always ready to jump in and help with whatever is needed. The kids absolutely love her. Whenever she has the kids for recess, she teaches them fun games like hide and go seek tag and sharks and minnows. She is a true asset to the school.”

During this hands-on investigation, students explored changes in states of matter by designing and building boats. to hold and float their snowmen” As their snowmen changed from a solid to a liquid, students conducted a scientific experiment focused on measuring mass, observing volume changes, collecting data over time, and analyzing how buoyancy affected their boat designs.
This project allowed students to apply key science concepts while also strengthening skills in engineering design, data collection, measurement, and critical thinking. It was wonderful to see students problem-solve, collaborate, and explain the science behind their results.
