Kindergarten students got elbow deep into some big orange pumpkins. Who knew that pumpkins could provide a math question, “how tall is the pumpkin?” a science experience “let’s investigate the seeds.” and a writing piece “describe your pumpkin”.
Big shout out to each of our amazing staff who presented at Fall CUE, helping to create growth in others. Thank you to the following inspirational presenters: Jen Martin, Sally Hoyt, Roland Aichele, Megan Ellis and Christina Eick.

You should plan to attend the conference with your student. A portion of the conference will be led by your student. They will be preparing for the student-led part of their conference during advisory/homeroom classes. We look forward to meeting with all families to celebrate your student’s growth this trimester.
