Mark your calendars, Chiefs! ❤️ Our Red Ribbon Week spirit days are coming up in TWO WEEKS! Check out the flyer and start planning!

Mr. Patton’s 4th grade science class built roller coasters out of pool noodles, tape, and skewer sticks. They had to release a marble and it make it through a loop, over a hill, and drop off the end. Each design was a test to see if the marble had enough kinetic energy to complete the course.

REMINDER!!!

Parent/Teacher Conference today 3:30pm-7:00pm.

Also, today is the last day to visit the Book Fair! It will be open during Parent/Teacher Conference.
