All aboard the ABC Wagon! These awesome kindergarteners have learned their letters and sounds and earned a special ride to celebrate! Keep up the great work!





Mrs. Howe's class read the Mercy Watson book series by Kate Dicamillo (six books). To celebrate, they read, "A Piglet Named Mercy", and learned how she became a part of the Watson family. They had a birthday party for her. They described character traits of Mercy, learned about the author, and wrote letters to her, shared their favorite book in the series and why, played a matching game on the Mercy Watson website, and had her favorite treat-toast with a great deal of butter on it (students loved getting to butter their own toast) and lemonade! What a fun day of learning and celebrating reading!

Archer Peterson (Mrs. Hansen’s Kindergarten Class)
Archer is always ready to lend a hand. He is kind to others and fills buckets of others around him.
Jake Romesburg (Miss Myers 2nd Grade)
Jake is a great friend to everyone in and outside of our classroom. He is quick to help out when needed. Jake also shows responsibility and is a hard working student. Thank you, Jake for doing your best even when you may not want to!

Avery is such a sweet girl. Although she is super quiet, she is willing to help anyone. She loves her siblings and is a big help to them as well. She is the "mother hen" of her family.
