We had a SPOOK-tacular time dressing up for Halloween!
From a porta-potty to a Coach Hurt costume, our halls were filled with tricks, treats, and plenty of laughs!
It’s safe to say the costumes were scary good this year!

They’re exploring science books to find interesting facts, answer questions, and discover new concepts—all while building research and critical thinking skills. This hands-on activity encourages curiosity and helps students become confident explorers of knowledge.

Students became little scientists as they tested out different tools to see how bird beaks work! Using a variety of “beaks,” they experimented with picking up different materials—just like Darwin’s finches!
This hands-on activity in Mrs. Simmonds' classes helped them understand how birds adapt their beaks to survive in their environments. It’s amazing to see evolution come to life right in the classroom!
