In the woods, our fourth graders participated in Storytelling Magic! The students sat in on a session with a gifted storyteller who shared Native American folklore, giving the kids a deeper connection to the land and the people who have called it home for generations.
The students were engaged, energetic, and—most importantly—only a little bit chilly! It was a fantastic day of hands-on learning that they won't soon forget.

Umpires Needed for Youth Baseball & Softball
Love the game? Step behind the plate!
We’re looking for dependable individuals to umpire 7th/8th grade softball and baseball games this season. Great opportunity for students, former players, or anyone who wants to stay involved in the sport.
Our fourth graders recently learned the Language of Trees! Our young naturalists sharpened their observation skills with some hands-on tree identification. Ask your student if they can spot the difference between a cottonwood and a silver maple next time you’re on a walk!

Earlier this week, five 7th grade students participated in the after school Kids in the Kitchen cooking class with Food Service Director, Chantelle Eshleman. The students learned how to peel, core and slice an apple and measure ingredients for the apple crisp they made, which they then were able to take home.
Next, they learned how to dice and julienne onions and peppers and saute them on top of the stove, to then put on their flatbread pizzas they assembled, baked and ate. They received a certificate for taking the class and were able to take the apple crisp home with them. A good and delicious time was had by all!

Our 4th graders traded the classroom for the great outdoors today, exploring the beautiful intersection of the Mississippi River National Park and Fort Snelling State Park. We couldn’t have asked for a better "living laboratory" to bring our science and history lessons to life!
Watch for future posts for a closer look at how students spent their day!
