Last Day of School!

The last day of the 2010-2011 school year was today. It is always a bittersweet time.  We began the day with the Awards Assembly.  We honored several fifth graders with academic awards as well as art, music, physical education and library awards.  Awards were given for character and attendance.  After the awards portion, we had our annual slide show.  The slide show consists of photos from the year compiled together and set to music.  Then we enjoyed the talents of the California Kids.  Our day was complete!

Fun Day Olympics

Our wonderful PE instructor organized our Fun Day this year with the theme of the Olympics.  Classrooms studied various countries, then paraded in the gym announcing their countries and flags.  After the country parade, the students watched as four high school students ran the Olympic torch to the stage and spoke about how sports helped them be successful in high school.  There was a fun video about Teacher Olympic Stars and then the Games began!  Students were having so much fun!

Miss Allaneous Parade!

The fourth graders learned a lot of vocabulary while preparing for their annual Miss Allaneous Parade.  The students must learn a word, create a poster and a costume for it and then bring it to be judged by Mr. Loring, Mr. Williams and Mrs. Steffes.

Here are some of the participants (not necessarily the winners!)...

Bubble Day

First graders played with bubbles during the fine afternoon yesterday!  Did you know there were such things as blue bubbles?  Enjoy!

The Barnyard

Today kindergarten, first and second grade visited the HS Barnyard, a fun project put on by the FFA students.  These photos are of some of our second graders enjoying the day!

It is also Nurse's Day!

Test Pool Parties

The last of our pool parties!  Students were rewarded with a pool party for all the hard work they did on the MAP or Terra Nova test.  Here are some shots from second grade!

Punk Rocker!

Mrs. Steffes kept her promise to dress like a punk rocker today!  The African Book Project collected 1,360 books to start another new library in Africa!

With the help of Heather and Amanda from Bella Capelli in Jefferson City, Mrs. Steffes was taken from her regular self to a bona fide punk rocker!

STAR Reader Day

Third grade celebrated their STAR reader program today by wearing t shirts they earned and by listening to our guest reader, our own Mrs. Kent!  Mrs. Kent and Sadie both came to read to the third graders.  Congratulations to all those who earned STAR Reader status!
