Happy May Day! Traditionally this is a day where we celebrate spring and the coming of summer. Miss Danielle's kindergarteners made cone-shaped May Day baskets filled with treats and flowers, then passed them out to some of our amazing teachers and staff!
How do you celebrate May Day?

Mrs. Furey and Mrs. Anderson took 5th grade on the 5-day STARBASE field trip at the end of April. The STARBASE program strengthens skills in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics while promoting problem-solving, collaboration, and real-world application. Students used CAD, learned coding, engineered rocket landings, researched various STEM careers, and more! The lessons were all aligned with the Minnesota state standards in math, science, and English. Thank you to our parent chaperones, Tim Hegstrom, Ashley Marinaro, Amy Forness, and Jason Forness. Also, thank you to our bus drivers/chaperones, Nicole Houle, Camelia Paszak, and April Matson. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UKXryq76GGpwa8sjaX1joBDcEDVc5NTE/view?usp=sharing
