CRYPTIDS AND CREATURES AND BEARS, OH, MY!
Mr. Doran’s English classes have been designing and creating cryptids and mythical creatures and writing stories to enhance the lore around them. His classes are learning to develop ideas, include details, and to utilize context clues and inferences in their writing, as opposed to directly telling information to the readers. That's impressive! Great job, everyone!
CPR TRAINING
Students in Mrs. Dornon's Health Sciences class have been working hard to learn the fundamentals of CPR. These life-saving measures are valuable tools for every area of life. Thank you, Mrs. Dornon, for giving students this opportunity!
BOYS BASKETBALL
Congratulations to our eighth-grade boys basketball team on their win over The Millard School this evening! Great job, guys!

FESTIVAL OF TREES AND TRAINS
On Friday, we had the opportunity to take our entire school to the Festival of Trees and Trains that is traditionally hosted by the Paramount Arts Center. Should you notice a pink, Barbie-themed tree, our EdRising students worked hard on this year's entry. We were also able to treat our students to some time at Central Park. We are most appreciative of our friends at the Paramount Arts Center and Lloyd Church of the Nazarene who helped make our day THE BEST before break. Also, we owe a special note of thanks to Nancy Hieneman for helping us to organize the logistics of our day. We had so much fun before heading home for the holiday break. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, Wildcats!
