As you know, our Grocery Sales Project begins today and ends on Nov. 15. Each family will be given a packet today. Our family goal is $1,500 and the school goal is $100,000. For years we have sold more than our goal. Will we do it again this year? We already have $1,000 from a patron who winters in a warmer climate. That’s a good start! When we reach $25,000, all will receive the first treat.
Good Luck to our JH wrestling team as they compete at Elkhorn Valley at 3:30 today. They will leave at 2:15 p.m.

Fifth Graders Put Life Science in Action
The 5th grade students finished Life Science with Mrs. Starman last week. The last two weeks of the quarter were spent demonstrating their understanding of the science standards. The students did this by creating a model that showed the flow of energy and the cycling of matter in a food chain. They worked hard and did a great job!
