Shout out to sophomore Ethan Jones!! Ethan was nominated by 1st/2nd grade teacher, Mrs. Ballard in which Ethan serves as a student aide. Mrs. Ballard states that Ethan jumps in and helps students without having to be asked. He can be trusted to work with small groups, keep them on task, maintain control, and get the work done. When at recess, Ethan continues to help and interact with students. Mrs. Ballard is very grateful for Ethan and says THANKS for all you do!!
Way to go, Ethan! Thanks for being a GREAT role model and helper!!

The HS FACS class wrapped up their Smoothie Unit with a Smoothie Contest. They were tasked with finding or creating their own recipe, writing the recipe, making a promotional poster, and finally, making their smoothies. A panel of teachers judged with a rubric including taste, appearance of smoothie/poster, nutrients, and recipe.
Congratulations to our winner - Sophia Rayburn!

5th and 6th grade teacher, Mrs. Butler, recently received a "Plant a Prairie" grant from the Kansas Native Plant Society. This grant includes garden kits with 32 live native plants of grasses and wildflowers. Students will enjoy the hands-on experience of planting and tending their mini-prairie as well as learning the basics of plant biology and prairie ecology. The completed garden helps preserve our natural heritage by providing a way station for various pollinators. Funding for "Plant a Prairie" is provided by the Gary and June Kliesen Memorial Fund. Gary and June were active KNPS members and advocates for native plants and prairie restoration. The purpose of the Kliesen Fund is to engage youth in starting prairie gardens. We are excited about this opportunity for our students! CONGRATULATIONS, Mrs. Butler!!
