Today the 1st graders got to explore the Wichita Art Museum!! They enjoyed creating their own art and discovering 3-D and 2-D shapes in the art work that was displayed.









Mr. Hughes and Mrs. Kyle's 7th and 8th grade Social Studies classes traveled to Topeka on Wednesday to tour the Ritchie House and the Brown v. Board of Education museums. They furthered their knowledge of the Underground Railroad, segregation, and Equal Rights. They represented our school well!!!




Third grade has been engaged in another fun project. Each student read a Tree House Mystery and other books, then created a diorama of the setting. They did a fantastic job!






The music department is so busy this time of year (elementary concert on Monday night, all school parade on May 10th, graduation on May 12th), that I forgot to post about how awesome the girls did at state solo/small ensemble held at Hesston College on April 27th. The trio (Katy, Angie, and Samantha) and Maddy both received a 1 rating. Great job and so proud of all of you!

Graduation for the Class of 2024 will be on May 12th at 4:00 pm. The ceremony will take place in the Brown Gym.
