Yesterday, students in Mrs. Jackson’s class and Mrs. Goff’s class hit the ice for an adapted ice skating adventure—and WOW, was it a blast!
There was skating, laughing, smiling, and nonstop fun from start to finish! Huge thanks to the amazing teachers and staff who joined our students and helped make this unforgettable experience possible.
And a BIG shoutout to our PTSA for helping cover the cost of this experience and getting our students on the ice!

⚙️✨ Grade 4 Engineering in Action! ✨⚙️
Ms. Sargent’s Grade 4 students are excited to share their Rube Goldberg machines with you! As part of their Energy & Motion Science Unit, students applied what they learned to design and build creative chain-reaction machines.
Throughout the process, students observed how energy is stored, released, and transferred, making thoughtful adjustments to improve their designs. The result? Incredible problem-solving, teamwork, and lots of excitement!
📸 Check out a few photos from the project below, and be sure to watch the short video at the end to see one of the machines in action. The students were so proud of their work—and we are too! 💚🐝
