Our 6th graders took a trip back in time this week! As a part of their unit about Ancient Greece, students in Mr. Baresel’s class traded their textbooks for "Olympic" glory.

While the ancient Greeks had their traditional methods, our students added a creative (and hilarious) twist to the games:

🏎️ Chariot Races: Reimagined with epic piggyback rides!

🫓 Tortilla Discus: Testing aerodynamics with some soft, floury projectiles.

💪 Arm Wrestling: A friendly substitute for the traditional Greco-Roman wrestling.

🐎 Equestrian Events: Where the students became the horses in a high-energy footrace.

It was a fantastic day of hands-on learning, teamwork, and a lot of laughter. Way to go, 6th grade!

Today, we begin the holy season of Lent. Let us embrace this time of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving.

"Even now, says the Lord, return to me with your whole heart." (Joel 2:12)

May the ashes we receive today remind us of our call to repentance and the abundant mercy of God. Let’s journey together in hope as we prepare our hearts for the joy of Easter.

Our 6th graders in Mr. Baresel’s Social Studies class didn't just read about history—they built it! After studying the legendary Mansa Musa, students engineered their own golden caravans using cardboard, pipe cleaners, and bottle caps.

The challenge? To see how much "treasure" (washers) their rigs could carry across the rugged Atlas Mountains and the scorching Sahara Desert. From structural integrity to wheel friction, these young explorers put their STEM skills to the test to see who could strike it rich!

It’s safe to say this lesson was worth its weight in gold!

💯 Days Smarter & Still Going Strong! 🍎
Last week, we hit a massive milestone: 100 days of learning, laughter, & growth! Our students celebrated in style, & it’s safe to say they've aged... well, quite a bit! 👵👴

Here’s a look at how we marked the big 1-0-0:

Centenarian Chic: We were joined by some very "distinguished" guests as students dressed up as 100-year-olds—canes, curlers, & gray hair galore!

Wearable Art: From 100 dinosaurs to 100 pom-poms, the creativity on our custom 100th-day T-shirts was off the charts.

The Great Hunt: Our learners put their literacy skills to the test during a special 100-clue ELA scavenger hunt.

Sweet Success: We practiced our counting skills by threading 100 Fruit Loops to make some delicious (& colorful!) necklaces. 🥣

We are so proud of everything our students have accomplished so far this year. 💙💛
