The middle schoolers are ready to help! Please reach out to Mrs. Walleser with any questions.
Last week our 8th grade student council members traveled to Bangor to participate in the Mississippi Valley GT Leadership program. Our students, along with 8th graders from 12 other regional schools participated in a variety of team building exercises, listened to inspirational stories of leadership and networked student activities to bring ideas back to school.
🧬 Learning cell organelles has gotten competitive!! Our middle school scientists have been learning the parts of the cell by playing an organelle version of Spoons. Students had a blast practicing their science vocabulary, thinking quickly and learning from one another, all while having a bit of fun! 🦠
Ag Processing in action!
Students learned how to make and safely can applesauce while exploring the differences between boiling water bath and pressure canning. They also learned why high-acid and low-acid foods require different processing methods and what it means when a recipe says to “add sugar to taste!” Of course we had to taste test…maybe more than once.

Mrs. Stahlke’s 8th grade agriculture students have been busy learning about livestock breeds, their characteristics, and what makes each breed unique!
Students created their own breed trading cards, showcasing important information about different breeds. Then, the real challenge began! Students traded breeds with their classmates while working through different scenarios and deciding which breed would be the best fit for a specific purpose.

Our Ag processing students learned the process of canning pickles from start to finish! Students practice proper food preparation, sanitation, jar preparation, measuring headspace, preparing brine, and safely processing their pickles.
There’s nothing better than learning by doing and maybe some taste testing here and there!

September was apple month in 4K and Kindergarten! To celebrate the end of the month, we read “The Apple Pie Tree” and made apple pie in a cup!
Spanish 1 students worked hard creating "Country in a Container" projects and sharing their findings about each Spanish-speaking country with the group. Through their research, they discovered common tourist destinations, traditional foods, wildlife found there, landscapes, climate, government systems, other languages spoken, typical sports and leisure activities, etc. Rather than preparing the usual report or slideshow, students enjoyed presenting information in a different creative way!
Join us for October play groups!
