Mrs. Van Voorhis's 5th grade math class geared up for the 2024 Summer Olympics with the 2024 Potato Olympics this school year.

Opening ceremonies took place May 20th with the first events kicking off that afternoon. The potatheletes competed in events such as relay race, shot put, high dive, curling, bowling, potato rolling and potato spinning. The top Tater in each event earned a certificate and was recognized before the closing ceremonies. Closing ceremonies on May 24th were exciting as the hard working Taters and their coaches marched across the classroom floor for the last time. The sportsmanship of the spuds was evident as they clapped and cheered for each other as awards were given.

Three cheers for all Taters who competed in the games!

At the end of the school year, Mrs. Morrison and Mrs. Mathews' first-grade classes enjoyed a special GLOW DAY to celebrate their growth throughout the year. They applied everything they have learned this year to tackle English Language Arts and Math activities using highlighters 🌟. To cap off the celebration, they had a glow-in-the-dark volcano eruption!

Our Costa Rica adventure continues! The group visited a traditional farm where they grow and process sugar cane, coffee, chocolate, and more. They experienced life on the farm by milking a cow, holding chickens, pressing sugar cane, making tortillas, and crafting empanadas.

One of the highlights was discovering that the historic sugar cane press on the farm was built in Hillsboro Ohio - it's been in the owner's family for 150 years!

Our Costa Rica delegation had an exciting day exploring yesterday. They embarked on an adventure around Arenal Volcano, kayaking on the lake and hiking through the national park to catch a glimpse of the smoking volcano. They even braved 500 stairs to swim under La Fortuna waterfall and soak in the hot springs of the volcano's thermal waters. To cap it off, they enjoyed a buffet dinner at the hot springs resort.

Next stop: Monteverde!

These Class of 2024 graduates are showcasing their Spanish language skills! As they explore the town of La Fortuna, they are engaging in full conversations in Spanish. 👏👏👏

After nearly a full day of traveling, our Costa Rica delegation is off and running! They toured a coffee plantation, visited a refreshing waterfall, and ate plenty of delicious food along the way.

Next up: a scenic bus ride to the volcano region for some epic hiking, sight seeing, and visiting the hot springs! 🌋

Exciting times ahead as our high school students jet off to Costa Rica for an incredible learning adventure! They have landed in Dallas and will depart to Costa Rica later this evening. Stay tuned for updates! 📚✈️🌎

This year, Ms Tate Thomas' class welcomed a real-life hero into their classroom! Our local Fireman Mr. Jeremy O'Brien visited us to share some invaluable insights about fire safety. 🚒👨‍🚒📚

The kids were absolutely thrilled to see him in his uniform and hear about his experiences. Seeing a firefighter up close not only instilled a sense of safety but also inspired them to be everyday heroes themselves!

A huge thank you to Fireman O'Brien for taking the time to educate and empower us!

Mrs. McCrory's classes worked to become independent readers during the 2023-2024 school year. We all know, "If you don't like to read, you haven't found the right book."-J.K. Rowling. Throughout the school year, students explored different genres, created a "Mystery" Book Club, and recommended books for Mrs. McCrory's classroom library.

The classes worked with Mrs. Heims who supported the students' choices and purchased books for their classroom library. Students were elated when the new books arrived. "Today a reader, Tomorrow a leader." -Margaret Fuller.
