Cooler days are here! Please make sure your child comes to school dressed for the changing weather. Warm coats, hats, and gloves help keep everyone warm during recess and bus times. Shorts are no longer a good choice as temperatures drop.
If your child needs a warm coat, hat, or gloves, please let us know — we have a few extras available and are happy to help!
Thank you for helping keep our students warm, safe, and ready to learn each day!

Picture Day tomorrow-Monday, October 20! Come with your best smile!
Today 7th graders kicked off their day making different cream cheese "smear" for bagels- vanilla pudding, chocolate chip, and chocolate fudge. When only given ingredients they had to problem solve how to make something yummy and decide how much of each to use ! They all decided that the gelatin in pudding made the "smear" taste like Playdoh!
Last week, Comet Connection buddies, the 9th graders and 3rd graders, got together for a science experiment. The students applied the gas laws to collapse pop cans by heating them up and submerging those cans in cold water.
The 9th and 10th graders spent today at the Falkirk Mine! They learned a lot about the variety of careers and training opportunities and had a fabulous tour - going places that not many don't get to explore! Thank you for a wonderful day of fun and learning!
Reminders: Early dismissal today at 1:00pm. Parent-Teacher Conferences starting at 1:30pm - 7:30pm. You still have time to sign up!
Hope to see you all tonight!
Fifth graders showed off their skills today by reading to a preschool class. They were great mystery readers!
Biology students presented their cell wars campaign projects today. The team of Robbie and Kevin was voted president of the cell.
Financial Literacy wrapped up their investing unit with ROI Monopoly. They calculated what property had the best price to rent ratio and determined how many times their property had to collect rent to receive their full investment back and make a profit!
🚒🔥 Fire Safety Awareness Week! 🔥🚒
This week, our students in PreK–6th grade had an exciting visit from the Underwood Fire Department! Firefighters brought their trucks and equipment to school to teach students all about fire safety — including how to stay safe in an emergency and the important tools they use when responding to fires.
A huge thank you to our local heroes for taking the time to educate and inspire our students!

We couldn't have had a better day for the Crunch Off! Students crunched on carrots, celery, lettuce, peppers, and delicious local apples! I am thinking that some of you may have even heard their first bites!
