As part of the Farm Field Trip the second-grade took on October 4, 2013 they stopped to get pumpkins. Each student took the pumpkin home to decorate and bring back to school to put on display for the week of October 14-18. We welcome all to come to school and admire all the pumpkin creations in the 2nd grade hall. Thank you parents for your help to decorate and support this fun activity.
Ducks, geese, chickens, rabbits, a dog, a cat, horses, a baby calf, a sheep and a goat are all the animals the Kindergarten students got to see at Clair and Brenda Christensen's Farm in Leland on October 7, 2013. Also as part of the field trip experience, Dina and Daisy, the Christensen's team of horses, gave the children a ride in a horse drawn wagon. They traveled the roads admiring the fields and animals of the surrounding homes. A big thank you to Clair and Brenda for making the field trip a success!

As part of the sixth-grade Greek unit they performed parts of the play "The Odyssey" by Homer. The ancient greeks were great storytellers. The Greeks also loved heroes. One of their heroes was King Odysseus. A man by the name of Homer who lived at the end of Grecian Dark Ages collected the stories and with gods, and goddess', and many mythical creatures the stories of Odysseus have become known throughout the ages. The students made their own props and costumes. They did a very fine job performing and learning at the same time.
