Check out the outstanding efforts of Mrs. Abby Fullenkamp's class at Northside! "We haven’t been able to go outside for recess since Christmas break. So, we found an inside recess project to complement our Black History Month unit. The kids worked so hard on this... They were so concerned about staying in the lines so the pictures would fit together perfectly. I’m so proud of them, and we learned a lot! - Mrs. Fullenkamp #BlackHistoryMonth

Warmer temps this week have allowed the Kodiaks in Mrs. Kylee Redford's class at Montpelier Elementary a chance to go outside for recess. According to Mrs. Redford, it's sidewalk chalk for the win! (Hurry up, spring! We like outdoor recess!)

Thank you to our BJSHS Key Club for spreading the love at Crown Pointe and Bridgewater Center. Club members made a Valentine card tied to a balloon for each resident. While students weren't able to meet with residents, they were still able to share a sweet Valentine message. ❤️
