The Primary School students completed their PACER tests.
What is a PACER test??? Students embark on a rhythmic back-and-forth run, responding to each beep that signals the pace. As the test progresses, the intervals shorten, demanding more speed and stamina.

To wrap up their town unit, first grade traveled to The Lodge of Manito to listen to the residents speak about their community long ago. They learned about the town's old movie theater, restaurants, and even what school was like. At the end, they were able to hand out cards and converse with the residents.
