Our fifth graders were screened for Scoliosis. Scoliosis is a condition where the spine may curve to the left or right. It is commonly found during rapid growth and may progress if not treated. This screening aims to recognize scoliosis in its earliest stages. We love Nurse O'Connor!
Our first-graders visited the Turtle Back Zoo. They could visit the animals they had been researching for a months-long project. It was a beautiful day!
Our fourth-graders visited the Red Mill Museum, including a blacksmith shop and a one-room schoolhouse. They learned more about early European settlers and our region's industrial development.

We learned a lot about Earth Day. Parent volunteers read a book about ladybugs and their importance to our ecosystem (they are awesome pollinators), and students decorated bug jars to bring home. Fifth graders were able to do some planting in our garden. We love our volunteers!
