Giving thanks has been a new theme at school this year. The district has implemented the GiveThx platform for 7-12 grades. Students meet each week with their assigned home room to learn more about gratitude science and share thank you messages to each other.
In the spirit of giving thanks…
Thank you to the thoughtful students and their parents that brought in bagels for the teachers! It was much appreciated.
Huge thank you to the FACS class and Mrs. Stallbaumer for a delicious Thanksgiving meal for our teachers today. The meals during in-service days and parent teacher conferences were also amazing!








Ag Structures students have spent the last couple of days building squirrel feeders. Today the 6th hour Ag Structures students installed the feeders on the trees in the park so that long term care residents could watch the squirrels! Thank you Mrs. Steinfort for coordinating this project!
