We will be taking buses to Macon, MO for their annual Build My Future event. This trip will be for all high schoolers, grades 9-12. A Google form was emailed to each student so they could mark if they were interested. If your student plans to attend, he/she will have to grab a permission slip to have signed and brought back to school prior to Friday September, 12th. This is a great opportunity to see what types of skilled trades are out there and maybe get a foot in the door for the future!
Happy Friday Cougs!

Today, our Junior High Social Studies students became detectives in our "Case Files" activity! 🕵️♀️ They worked through a series of clues about different teachers, using their detective skills to guess which teacher matched which set of clues. It was a fun way to practice analyzing evidence and drawing conclusions, all while getting to know their teachers better.
Mrs. Lyon's 2nd grade class practiced using a plan and strategies to complete a 100 piece puzzle! Then we talked about persistence!
