Last Friday, Mrs. Miller brought our brand-new Chompsaw Workshop to Mrs. Braun's 2nd graders. Chompsaw is a kid-safe power tool designed for cutting cardboard and other maker materials, and our 2nd graders absolutely loved getting the chance to test it out. 📦

Attention Van Meter football fans: Due to limited parking and ongoing construction at the stadium, some changes are in place for this season’s home football games. 🏈

Stadium Entry:
➡️ Fans may enter at the south stairs or west walkway.

Parking:
➡️ General parking is available in the south lot or at the east athletic complex (use the tunnel to access the other side).
➡️ Bus lane parking is reserved for those with health needs, seniors, and handicapped access (as in previous years).

Traffic Flow:
➡️ Vehicles can enter through either entrance, but the lane directly south of the stadium scoreboard will be blocked.
➡️ No traffic cut-throughs—use designated flow only.

For everyone’s safety, please stay out of the construction zone and follow all signage for a safe game day experience!
