Fifth grade students were recognized Friday morning for completing the 10-week Drug Abuse Resistance Education Program. DARE is a police officer-led series of classroom lessons that teaches fifth graders life lessons and valuable tools to resist peer pressure and live productive drug- and violence-free lives. Students also learn skills such as effective communication, ways to be good citizens, safely reporting bullying and stress management. DARE is the bridge to building trust and positive community-police relations offering students the opportunity to gain a trustworthy role model, develop a positive attitude toward law enforcement personnel, and acquire greater respect for the law.

Nathan Bender, an engineer, came to Ms. Davidson’s class recently where the sixth graders learned about the engineering design process, were able to see tools that Mr. Bender uses every day in his career, and asked many questions. Mr. Bender also gave the students advice on their structural designs for the bridges they are building in science class. The sixth graders learned so much and hope he can come back next year.

On Wednesday, April 26, the fourth graders began their science unit on ecosystems by creating one — a worm farm. Students layered newspaper and dirt to create the red worms' environment. Students are collecting small amounts of food from their lunches to recycle and feed to the worms. Everyone will take a turn misting them with water and checking on their food supply. The class started with 68 red worms.
2022-23 Parent School Climate Survey
As part of the School Climate Transformation Grant, we are asking you to please take a few minutes to complete the following survey (link to the survey: https://forms.gle/7b1gRxQHCwowvxsC9 ). All responses are anonymous and no email addresses will be collected upon submission. The responses from the survey will help us plan and use grant funding in the best way to support the needs of our district. We will be doing this yearly throughout the remainder of the grant to gain insight on the programs we are implementing and the impact they are having on the climate of our school. Thank you for your time and help with gathering this important information.
