📚 📖 📚 Ms. Springsteen's ELA 8 class partnered with Mrs. Fimreite’s Advanced ELA students from Barron for a grammar lesson. The advanced students created handouts, a video lesson, and a game to teach 8th graders all about punctuation! The kids loved it and are hoping to play again when we have downtime. Thank you so much Mrs. Fimreite and class! 👏 👏

🧪 In Chemistry class, we are studying gas laws. Students have to figure out how to manipulate the gas to get the egg into the flask and back out without breaking it. 🥚

A small community that continues to show up in big ways💛 🐻💜
On May 7th, we were honored to have several community members help in the process of completing our Senior Exit Interviews! As seniors wrap up their year, one of their final steps is the opportunity to participate in a mock interview process where they are able to reflect on their high school career, look ahead, and share their future plans, as well as practice important, meaningful interview skills to help them in their futures!
We truly appreciate our wonderful volunteers for their time and willingness to be part of this process!👏👏

We started the week with breakfast scones and coffee, a nacho bar on Tuesday, Dirty soda and a candy cantina on Wednesday & Thursday and ended today with a build a burrito bar finale to wrap up a week full of gratitude.
Thanks to our staff for their compassion, commitment, and hard work that makes a lasting difference in the lives of our students and families! 💜💛

🫛 🫛 It all started one day in the lunchroom when Brooks Nelson, a 4th grader in Ms. Peterson’s class went to break open his usual pea pods from the delicious salad bar we have at Clayton School. On this particular day the pod he opened had one larger pea that had a sprout. Being the curious and observant boy he is, he took the pea home and decided to plant it, hoping it would grow! And has it grown! 🌱 He has been watering and caring for it daily and looks forward to having pea pods of his own!
