Art Field Trip 2026







Check out this week's Cougar Day Activity!

Our 4th graders had a soft launch of their Happy Mug Coffee Cart on Thursday, and it was a huge hit! ☕😄
They treated our teachers to some delicious drinks while showing off all the hard work they’ve been putting in over the past few weeks.
With the guidance of Mrs. Seegers and Mrs. Johnson, students have been learning what it takes to run a small business—creating ads, making choices about their products, and putting their math skills to work by planning costs, figuring out prices, and sticking to a budget to open the cart. 📊💡
We are so proud of their teamwork, creativity, and confidence as they turned learning into a real-world experience. Way to go, Happy Mug crew! 👏✨

Thank you to Avera for organizing the winter gear drive! ❄️🧤🧣 Your generosity and support help keep our students warm and ready to learn during these cold winter months.

Huge shout-out to Mark Leinweaver for visiting today and sharing his powerful message on Why Character Matters. Students were challenged to think about accountability, balance, and character, and reminded that you are your own agent—your choices matter, both online and in real life. A timely and impactful message that really resonated with our students. Thank you for a great presentation! 👏💙





Another awesome Cougar Day activity hosted by FCCLA! 🐾👏





Mrs. Johnson had help displaying books for the sports section in the library. 3rd grader Jayce Frank drew a poster showing different sports. He also picked out and made the display for our library. Thanks for making the poster and display Jayce!
