100 Days Smarter!
Our kindergarten students made 100th Day crowns and necklaces, shared their 100-item collections, and rotated through fun 100th Day centers-building, weighing, creating and counting.

We wrapped up the day with a 100th Day trail mix made from 10 pieces of 10 differents snacks! The students had a great time celebrating being 100 days smarter!

Due to predicted early morning temperatures, we are on a 2-hour delay tomorrow (Tuesday, January 20th).

Shout out to our vocal music director, Mr. Mitchell Calderone, for presenting two sessions at the Indiana Music Educators' Association conference this weekend! 🎶

Mr. Calderone shared his expertise with educators statewide on two innovative topics:

Music Composition & Tech: How to build a modern music curriculum from the ground up.

The "Partici-informance": His original concert model is a curriculum-focused concert designed for middle-school students to help parents experience first-hand the incredible learning students achieve through studying music in ensembles.

We’re proud to have Mr. Calderone leading our students and sharing his passion with the music community!

Due to weather conditions, we will have an e-learning day tomorrow (Monday, January 19th). Teachers will post work by 10 a.m. to Canvas for students to complete. Grades K-2 have packets in their take-home folders. *Please note: This is our last allowable asynchronous e-learning day. Any other cancellations this year would mean having synchronous e-learning (Google Meets from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m with built-in breaks). Teachers will use tomorrow to prepare for this possibility.
