Today, third grade read How Many Seeds in a Pumpkin? Afterwards, we counted the seeds inside our own pumpkins to see which one had the most. Each group chose to count by 2s, 5s, or 10s. Then, we shared the pumpkin seeds equally among all the students to represent a division equation.

Exciting Playground Upgrade Coming!

Last year, our students voted for a long-lasting improvement—and they chose a playground upgrade!

Here’s what to expect:
A complete playground renovation in two phases:
• Phase 1: The field renovation (starting this week!)
• Phase 2: Updates to play structures, blacktop, and more

As we kick off Phase 1:
* Shrubbery will be removed
* The two back swings and a defective slide will be taken out
* Construction fencing is up around the playground perimeter to keep kids safe inside the play area

⚠️ Please note: There may be some days when students will not have access to the playground during recess. On those days, we will provide alternative recess options to ensure students still have fun and stay active!

We’ll keep you posted with updates throughout the construction—watch for the amazing transformation ahead!

Thank you for your support as we make our school an even better place to play and learn!
