We are proud to announce, recently our PE department was approved for the Legacy Regional Community Foundation "Active Play Matching Grant." The outline of this grant is to help address the health of the children in your elementary school. The purpose of this initiative is to enhance built environment and/or equipment purchase that provide and promote schoolchildren to be more physically active in order to address the rising rate of obesity in our area. The vision is to provide a space for public elementary schoolchildren in Cowley County to enjoy vigorous exercise through organized games and unstructured play before, during and after the school day. This grant is a 1:1 matching opportunity up to $2,000. A Special Thank you to the Legacy Foundation for approving this grant and to our Administration and school board for matching it! Our students will really benefit from the equipment being purchased through this grant! Thank you!!

The 4th graders have been learning about static electricity in science. Today students had to rub a balloon on their head, then use the static to make an aluminum can roll. Then they had to see if their hypothesis on how far the can would roll was correct or not by measuring the distance it rolled. Some students were surprised at how far they could get their can to roll!

The 4th graders have been learning about conductors and insulators in science. Today they got to use what they have learned and play a game of freeze tag. Students were either an electrifying student (the ones that are "It"), a conductor, or an insulator. Since conductors let electricity pass through easily, those students had to feeeze immediately. The insulators had to be tagged 3 times before they were frozen because they don't allow electricity to flow through. The students had fun applying what they have learned!

On Thursday we had a special visitor, Donna Martin, in fifth grade. For our Native American unit, students have been learning about the different regions where Native Americans settled. We learned about the different types of clothing, food, land, tools, transportation and shelter each region used. Mrs. Martin is an expert on the Native Americans in the Plains region and came on Thursday to show our students how to build a tipi and share some stories and artifacts from that region. Students helped to build the tipi with Mrs. Martins help and then we all went inside the tipi to learn about the Native Americans and pass around artifacts. It was a great day of learning.
