Fifth grade had their annual Veggie Tasting Party this week with Master Gardener Valerie Prax! Students learned about the different parts of plants we eat, like how broccoli is a flower, carrots are the root, and celery is a stem. They also got to “taste the rainbow” by sampling a colorful variety of veggies, including purple cabbage, red beets, yellow peppers, green kale, and white rutabaga.
Many students discovered new favorites, and the fun didn’t stop there! Val brought salsa made with tomatoes from our 5th grade garden and muffins made with beets. A huge thank you to Val for creating such a valuable and delicious learning experience for our students!
Homecoming Week Day 3: Grade Level Color Day was a hit! Each class showed off its unique colors and Mustang pride, making the halls brighter than ever!

Ms. Hambly’s first graders are diving into the question, “What is a Scientist?” by making observations and predictions! They explored the magic of science with their very first experiment together. Thanks to the Generation Genius video lesson, they learned how the fat in whole milk helps spread color to create the “magic milk”! The kids had a blast watching science in action!
This week we welcome our Preschool students! Both staff and students are ready for another great year in Preschool!
We are still accepting 3 year old preschool registrations! See the attached flyer for more information or contact the Early Childhood office at 320-679-6225.
