Our Fifth graders have just finished an ELA unit on A Midsummers Night Dream by Shakespeare and invited the 4th grade to enjoy their rendition of the play. Students made their costumes, made the backdrop, learned their lines and even dropped some Shakespearean curses ("You acorn! You bean!"). They enjoyed sharing this drama with their peers and everyone enjoyed the show!

Students in the Animal Science class made up "feed" rations in class today. They had to balance the ration correctly using roughages, concentrates and proteins and then mixed up the feed after finding out its cost.

We hope you're enjoying the last day of spring break. Here's a reminder that the traffic pattern will be different tomorrow at school due to construction. No vehicle traffic is allowed around back to elementary. That means no buses, no tardy students, no early pick ups. All elementary students, including preschool, will be dropped off and picked up at the Commons. Tell your friends, tell the grandparents, tell your partners!
