The "Ikidarod"
Grades 1 and 2 have been following the Iditarod sled dog race in Alaska as part of their study of journeys. The snowstorm this week was perfectly timed for them to stage their own version of the race -
"The Ikidarod." Teams had to navigate a sled course and stop at six checkpoints. Challenges at the checkpoints included 50 jumping jacks, mushers putting gloves on the "dogs," math problems, and word scrambles. Look for our next blog post by Tr. Amanda which will detail the entire unit of study and the race.

A Midsummer Night's Dream
Performances
Grades 7 and 8 gave two fabulous performances of A Midsummer Night's Dream. This more modern version of Shakespeare's story took place in the 1960s era with groovy outfits and sixties-themed music. Grade 4 had a cameo role in the play as the woodland fairies. Tr. Amber and Tr. Marcia did a wonderful job directing the play, while Tr. Liza oversaw the stage crew.

Jump Rope for Heart Fundraiser
Grades 3/4 jumped their hearts out for the annual "Jump Rope for Heart" fundraiser. They jumped for an hour and a half and were cheered on by grades 7/8. Money raised from this energetic event benefits the American Heart Association, helps children with heart issues, and educates the community on the signs of heart attack.
