We made it a snow day in pre-k! Mrs. Dougherty and Ms. Vaughn’s class read a story about snow, made snow puffy paintings and played with shaving cream “snow”! We even got some practice writing letters and our names with it!

Hello Raiders,
I'm happy to be almost to the end of January and just now communicating about the weather. As you're aware, winter weather will soon be upon us. Several people have asked about whether a snow day will be used as a remote learning day.
Should we need to cancel school for weather, Midwest Central plans to use a snow day just as we have in the past. We will not have any remote learning on those days. We will simply add them to the end of the year as we've done traditionally. I hope this clears up any confusion.
Best,
Dr. Todd Hellrigel
The fourth grade classes are learning about different types of energy in science. Today, the classes made ice cream to learn about heat transfer. Ms. Hamblin’s class enjoyed this tasty experiment and declared it the ‘best day ever’.

What a fun Friday in preschool! Ms. Dougherty and Ms. Vaughn’s class has been learning all about signs in our environment and today we went on a sign hunt in our building! Our favorite was the exit sign! We are also enjoying learning through play in our classroom centers!
Danny Brackney earned a Subway lunch today in Ms. Gough's class. He filled in one state per day that he displayed expected behaviors! Way to go, Danny! Keep up the great work!
It was a fun-filled day of crafts, building, socializing, and reading in Ms Forsythe’s preschool room this morning!
