Our Intro to Ag students are absolutely crushing their State Commodity Projects! 🇺🇸✨ These 8th graders picked their states and dove deep into the world of agriculture to figure out exactly where our food and resources come from. From tracking top products—like cattle, hogs, and hay—to hunting down "super cool" ag facts, they are putting in some seriously creative work. 🔎🌾 Next up: cutting them out and getting them ready to tape onto the big class map! #wechooselearning

🔍🔬Our STEM students in Mr. Snellings classes have been busy experimenting, testing, and seeing what happens! They’re using the scientific method to ask questions, make predictions, identify variables, follow procedures, and collect data from their experiments. We love seeing our Wildcats get hands-on, work together, and learn from both their successes and their “hmmm…that didn’t go as planned!” moments! #wechooselearning

The district has counselors and pastors volunteering who are prepared to assist in supporting our students and staff in the days ahead. Thank you for the support that many have already shown toward the student's family, friends and classmates.
