Many of you will remember our special nest of killdeer (banded plover) eggs in the front circle of the school. Well, they have hatched! We have three hatchlings so far. They are walking and finding food within hours of hatching, staying close to mom and dad. They will soon abandon this nest, and the babies will begin flying in about 25 days.

Fourth grade received a special tool called a "Hooey stick" to demonstrate how sound waves can move a propeller. This was a generous donation from Michael Parker. He used a 3-D printer to make this exciting tool for us to experiment with sound waves. Thank you for your time and support of our school!
