In 5th grade we're in the process of building a rollercoaster that will take the longest amount of time from start to finish. The teams of engineers are problem-solving, making adjustments and working together to complete this challenge. Which design do you think will be victorious?
The best part? Celebrating their hard work by making s’mores in their solar ovens! We love seeing students learn through creativity, problem solving, and hands-on experiences. Great job, 5th grade!

Students created homemade bath bombs while learning about chemical reactions, mixing materials, and designing a product that fills a need. We talked about how STEM can be used to create things that help people relax, feel cared for, and solve everyday problems.
This project combined creativity, engineering, and science as students tested ingredients and worked through the design process step-by-step. Plus, they were excited to make a special Mother’s Day gift to take home!
A huge thank you to the wonderful families and supportive community that make these hands-on learning experiences possible for our students!

Crawdads, mosquitos, and frogs oh my! Last week, 3rd and 4th grade students had the opportunity to brainstorm ideas to add some visual flair to their concert music. With ideas ranging from holding stars, staff in costume, marching off stage, and suspending friends from the ceiling, we certainly had some colorful conversation! We worked together to combine actions and visual ideas to allow students to present their own creative takes on the songs. We are excited to perform for our school and community this Thursday, May 7th!
Throughout the year, Mrs. DeMoss has had the incredible opportunity to lead two amazing groups: 3-D Pens and Paper Crafts! Watching students explore their creativity and showcase their unique talents has been truly inspiring.
From imaginative designs to hands-on creations, these students have absolutely thrived—and had a blast doing it! We are proud of their hard work, creativity, and willingness to try new things.
