Mrs. Swank's Zoology class dissected an octopus. The students were assigned to try to find the beak and brain, but they weren't allowed to cut open the octopus, so they had to go through the mouth.




















Congratulations to Binx Kitchkommie on being accepted to both Emporia State University and Washburn University.




Organized entirely by the student officer team, this project helped high school leaders gain valuable experience in project planning while promoting agricultural literacy. By reading books about how everyday foods are made—such as peanut butter and jelly sandwiches—students helped younger readers learn where food comes from and why agriculture matters.
Key Highlights:
• Promoted agricultural literacy using fun, farm-focused books.
• Connected high school student leaders with elementary classrooms.
• Developed leadership skills through a student-led initiative.

Mrs. Schraad has demonstrated incredible flexibility in her transition to Science. If you walk into her classroom, students are engaged, and she has embraced the Science curriculum with a full head of steam.
Ms. Mantz also had to be flexible this school year, in her move to 3rd grade. Her classroom is filled with lots of laughter throughout the day and students know they are loved and cared for.
Congratulations to both of you!

Last week, Bill Johnston from Kansas Corn visited with our elementary students throughout the day to teach them about agriculture in Kansas. During the presentations, students learned:
• How local farmers grow different crops in Kansas
• How agricultural practices work
• How farm crops are turned into everyday products
Bill shared interactive demonstrations with each grade level. Every student also received seeds to plant at home and a fidget toy.
Thank you to Bill Johnston and Kansas Corn for spending the day with our students.
