Lily Parker is an All-State Shot Putter in indoor track and placed 8th at the State Meet in Grand Rapids, MI. Lily also qualified and competed last Sunday at nationals at The Track at New Balance in Boston. She placed 6th (37' 8.5") and beat her personal record with an increase of 6.5"! Great way to crush it, Lily!
4th graders learned about hand washing and eating healthy food from Mrs. Ross, our “PE-Nut Lady.” Mrs. Ross got the kids up and moving in 20-second activities to show them how long hand washing should last. The students made snacks featuring bagels, cream cheese, peppers, and cucumber. It was a fun, engaging lesson!

Mrs. Bennett's class celebrated Pi Day with various centers. Students listened to the Pi Song as they worked. They used cards and dice to play a game using the first ten digits of pi. They used bar graphs to create the first 18 digits by creating a pi skyline. They also learned how to use pi in the area and circumference of circle formulas! Pi Day is observed on March 14 (the 3rd month) since 3, 1, and 4 are the first three significant figures of π.
