In celebration of America’s 250th birthday, our 4th–6th grade students have been researching important Pre-Revolutionary War figures who helped shape our nation’s history. We would like to invite the community to come experience their hard work at our Living Wax Museum! Students will be dressed as historical figures and will bring history to life by sharing what they have learned. We hope you will join us for this special event and support our students as they step back in time to honor the people who helped pave the way for America’s independence!

We will have early dismissal at 1:00 PM next Tuesday and Wednesday.

Yesterday our First and Second graders took a fun field trip to the Baker Arts Center in Liberal! The students had a great time exploring, especially all the beautiful butterflies, and enjoyed the different activities throughout the center. It was a day full of curiosity, creativity, and lots of smiles! We’re so glad they had this opportunity to learn outside the classroom!
