Results from State Golf 2024. Great work to our MVP Golfers on a great season!
We had some special guests in preschool today to teach us about fire safety. We also go to explore the firetrucks outside. Thank you Plankinton Fire Department!
October is Fire Safety Month! The first grade class wanted to thank the Plankinton Fire Department for visiting our class today, teaching us about fire safety and prevention! We had two members from the department come into the room and speak to us about how to prepare for an emergency, and demonstrate all their gear. We were then able to go outside and tour the fire trucks!
We were given 3 homework assignments to do with our families:
1. Plan an exit strategy for every space in your house in case of fire
2. Identify a safe space to meet outside of the home in an emergency
3. Memorize your address, it's needed to report an emergency to 911 operators!
All these things ensure the safety of families AND the members of our department!
The kindergarten class had so much fun visiting Baker's Pumpkin Patch!
Good luck to our MVP Titan Golfers as they head into day 2 of the State Meet! #MVPTITANS

The seventh-grade science class has been learning about meteorology. They worked together to create a news broadcast, including current/past events, sports, and a weather segment. They were in charge of creating their own scripts, broadcast material, and weather map. They then did all of the "behind the scenes" to set up their broadcast as well as filming the segment. Check them out on YouTube below.
