We are so proud of our 5th graders who participated in our school spelling bee today. They displayed incredible sportsmanship, courage while facing a large crowd and spelling difficult words, and pride in sharing their knowledge of words. Congratulations to each of them!!! Our Champion is Bradley Gorzen and our Runner-Up is Kaitlynn Strawser. Good luck to Bradley at the county spelling bee on March 11th.
Thanks to a generous grant through John George Foundation, our 3rd grade students can now take writing and note taking to a whole new digit level using Rocketbooks! They are bursting with new ideas!
