First and second grade went to the Overland Trail Museum. They got a tour of many buildings, saw what it was like to be child on the plains, and pan for gold. Some loved the old conoco station, some loved milking Bella, some liked gathering eggs, and others loved the butter they made and eating it on crackers. We appreciated the parent volunteers that came as well and our bus driver, Joe Stan! Thanks so much!

They learned many things about Japan!
Did you ever wonder what incredible things there are to see in Colorado? One of the volunteers in second grade, Mrs. Nichs, was generous enough to bring second grade students pamphlets, maps, stickers, and activity books about Colorado that she shares with people when they stop at the welcome center in Julesburg.
If you ever want to have a vacation you don't have to leave Colorado. There are so many things to do. Just ask the volunteers at the Welcome Center.
Thank you Mrs. Nichs for a great year together. You made such a difference in students' lives!
3rd grade had a lot of fun during Field Day today. A big THANK YOU to Mr. Mikelson for putting this on for us it was a great day!

Congratulations, Riley Jarrett for earning the Good News Call of the Day from Ms. Kreienheder. Here's what Ms. Kreienheder had to say, "Riley has been working so hard and diligently in English class, that she finished her essay days early. After finishing early, she immediately started peer reviewing another classmate's essay while simultaneously helping two other students with questions they had. I didn't even have the opportunity to help- Riley was on it! Thank you, Riley, for taking your success seriously and for helping others to do the same!" Way to go Riley!
May 13 was National Frog Jumping Day. In our morning announcements students were asked how many frog jumps could they safely do. Some 3rd graders took on the task of finding out during recess.
Mr. Calvadores gave Rey Graham the Good News Call of the Day. Rey kindly assisted Mr. Calvadores this morning by carrying the heavy boxes from my classroom to the storage room without Mr. Calvadores having to ask for help. Mr. Calvadores gave another Good News Call of the Day to Peyton Kizer and Rey Graham. They cleaned the mess outside the classroom together with Mr. Ortiz. We really appreciate their initiative in cleaning the mess outside to maintain our school environment clean. Way to go Rey and Peyton!
Sixth grade received another response from the letters of request they wrote back in January. This one was exciting: a student received two books and a handwritten note in response to his letter!
