Congratulations to Mackenzie Sparks for being selected as the Citizen of the Week! As part of The Little Mermaid play rehearsals, she was a great help back stage, making sure all students were where they were supposed to be for each scene. She also helped with props on stage during scene changes. Mackenzie is a huge help during wellness and PE classes, always willing to set up an activity and clean up at the end of the class.

Last Friday, our fourth-grade students presented, The Events Leading Up to The Shot Heard 'Round the World. Written and performed by the fourth grade, this exciting and informative presentation retold the events leading up to the American Revolution. Their play is a culmination of this term’s reading and writing curriculum that included nonfiction, historical fiction, opinion writing, information writing, and realistic fiction writing. They worked cooperatively to create a script, costumes, and scenery to depict these important events in our history. They were pleased to perform their play for families and fellow classmates.
