They will have a chance to be fitted for the perfect instrument at our upcoming Instrument Fitting Open House on February 10 from 6:00-8:00 PM in the MS Band Room, so feel free to stop in after Parent-Teacher Conferences! Informational packets will be coming home with students this afternoon, with an interest questionnaire due February 6.

At a recent Mustang Buddies meeting, students worked side by side to make playdough, create friendship bracelets, and take on a fun challenge: building a tower with only their homemade playdough and toothpicks.

Mustang Buddies helps build friendships and strengthen our school community. This after-school mentor program pairs younger students with older students, creating meaningful connections across all grade levels.

Several of our students had the opportunity to receive free eye exams and custom eyewear, all provided at no cost!

The iSee program bridges the gap by bringing eye care directly to schools, ensuring that every child has access to the vision services they need to succeed.

A huge thank you to our counselors, who made this possible, and to the doctors and volunteers who donated their time and expertise to provide these services to our students.

We received more mail! Miss Wolfe’s third-grade class received another exciting package from the NFL—this time from Jordyn’s team, the Minnesota Vikings!

At the start of football season, Miss Wolfe’s students “tackled” an engaging project that brought football into the classroom. As part of their math lessons, students drafted NFL teams and tracked weekly team and quarterback statistics to build their data skills. They also practiced their writing by sending letters to the teams they drafted.

Jordyn received a very special handwritten card with a direct response to her letter, wishing her well and encouraging her to follow her dreams. They even included some fun trading cards as a keepsake! Thank you to the Minnesota Vikings for making her day!
