On Monday, the preschoolers enjoyed time with their Senior Buddies. Everyone worked hard on making ornaments for the trees in the school entry!
What a wonderful way to kick off Thanksgiving break, with our very own Thanksgiving Day parade! 5th grade researched the history of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade in order to prepare their very own production. We learned that the Vermillion Dakota Dome is one of the testing sites for many of the balloons that later are flown in the parade! They created spectacular art work to become DIY balloons and included their own version of marching bands, emcees, and Santa (just as the original parade would have).
Great job fifth grade!
Special thanks to "Santa" and to Mr. Johnson for their help in making this possible. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Throughout this unit, fifth graders studied the brightness of stars, Earth's rotation and shadow patterns, seasonal constellations and Earth's orbit, as well as the moon phases. Here's a few photos of the hands on learning we enjoyed throughout this unit!

The eighth grade science class has been learning about atoms, elements, molecules, compounds, and bonds. They were given the molecule of propane and had to research its chemical formula, its atom total, and a model of its atom arrangement. They then created a 3D model of it using different candies as the atoms and skewers as the bonds.
OVERWHELMING SUCCESS!! Many thanks to those who attended the 6-8 MWA sponsored dance on Friday night. Lots of fun was had by all attendees. To those who donated snacks and drinks; to Ms. DeGeest for helping to chaperone; to your middles school event planners - Izzy Briggs; Claire Hill and Kenzie Davis; to Mrs. Victor for being our go to; and especially; to Brad and Amber Green of The Green Strings for the music — we thank you all for your support.
