Science in action! ⚡️🐝 Mrs. Fleck’s class used their knowledge of static electricity to teach Dr. Smith’s students how pollinators carry pollen from plant to plant. We love seeing student-led learning across classrooms!

Huge shoutout to our amazing 5th graders! 👏🏼 Through hard work, creativity, and positive choices, these students earned the exciting opportunity to design and create their very own t-shirts or hat! From brainstorming ideas to showing off their unique styles, they truly rose to the challenge. We’re so proud of the effort, positive attitude, and school spirit they showed along the way. We can’t wait to see they do in the future! 🌟
