The TK and Kindergarten students had a lot of fun learning about the Olympics last week! They created and raced bobsleds with their buddies, worked together to make class flags, made Olympic hats to wear on Friday, and attended the Van Meter Opening Ceremonies. 🎿
Mrs. Swartz’s ELA class presented their research inventions to one another. It was fun learning about the design process and the impact of each project! 💡
Last Friday, 22 members of the VMSCC traveled to the Madison County Nature Center at Pammel State Park to meet with County Conservation staff and Madison County Soil and Water Conservation staff.
