Elementary Open House is Monday, Feb 6 5:00-6:00 p.m. Come see your student's work, talk with their teacher and get in free for the Girls Basketball game! Every student who comes to the Open House will get a free pom pom and raffle ticket for some cool prizes. Everyone who attends the Open House will get into the Girls' game FREE! Can't wait to see you Monday night!

Sixth grade computer students have been learning about Google Drawings. We finished up this unit today with a fun collaborative assignment where students created tic-tac-toe boards and game pieces with two different partners and then had to play against those partners simultaneously while tracking each game's start and the end result over six games for a total of twelve games. Many students found out that it's not as easy to multi-task as we think which is a great life lesson for all of us!

Do you know a family with a child 6 or younger? Let them know about the Winter Learning Festival this Sunday, 2/5 1:00-3:00 p.m. in the River Ridge Commons. Not only are there resources for grown ups, but there will also be games and activities for the kids! Olaf and Elsa will even be there for pictures! Enjoy it all on Sunday!
