Look at these ACE families go! So much talent and heart put in from so many people! This Beauty and the Beast production is going to be a hit! Thank you for your time and efforts! The kids have been working hard on the songs, choreography, and speaking parts! It will be here in less than a month!
The 4th and 5th graders and their families did a great service project on February 27th with Kids Against Hunger! They measured, weighed, and packaged 4,362 meals of Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal with some soy protein that won’t expire until February 27, 2026. The meals are served worldwide after tragedies strike, such as after our most recent blizzard, a hurricane, or tornado. Somewhere, at some point, someone will really appreciate the meals we made. The meals were tasty too! The kids enjoyed wearing the hairnets! 😄
Thank you to Tiffany Beukelman for her Thrivent donation, all those who donated either by buying a hat from Donna Stolz, dropping money into the Tide box, or through Venmo! Our costs were covered!

Kids Care this month was on February 17. Students were divided out and went to five off site organizations this month. Those places included LifeScape, the Banquet, Ronald McDonald House, local daycare, and downtown library. Duties assigned were cleaning toys/books/shelves, preparing the banquet hall for guests, and playing games with residents and kids. Some students stayed onsite to make blankets for those in need. Thanks Kristen Benidt for organizing these activities and to the parents who drove us!
Valentine's Day parties were a huge hit in all classrooms on Feb. 14! Thank you to all of our room parents for their help organizing all of the celebrations throughout the year and the other parents who help in any way!

For the past two weeks leading up to the Super Bowl, Miss Leloux's third graders worked extremely hard on their "Super Reader Challenge"! Each student was divided into two teams, Eagles and Chiefs, and then could bring in a football that indicated they read for 30 minutes outside of school. Each football allowed their team to move 10 yards on our field to try to score touchdowns!! One student brought in 50 footballs!! Wow! Great effort! Students voted on the MVP of their team and won individual and team prizes for their efforts. In the end, the Chiefs were victorious with the score 105-49. Super Bowl Week features fun football spelling words, learning about the Star Spangled Banner, Roman Numerals, football math games, an escape room, and ended with a Tailgate Party! Thank you third graders for working extremely hard! Thank you to the parents who donated to their party!
