Students in Mrs. Nyquist's 3rd grade class have a learning service project: The Bee Cause. They are learning the importance of bees. They are planting flowers, a tree, and helping clean the Iron Belle Trail. Finally, they are educating others so they can help too. Here, students show off the posters they created to help teach others.
Mrs.Thull's kindergarten class had their first ever Bug Day. They dived into the world of different types of bugs. They made their own playdough bugs, colored bugs with bug crayons, and went on a bug scavenger hunt. The whole day was bug themed. Everyone had a blast!!

It's always a good day when Enni Gregas comes for a visit! A representative for the Iron Belle Trail, Enni taught Mrs. Nyquist's 3rd grade students how important the trail is to all of us. Students, now "Friend of the Iron Belle Trail", did their part in cleaning up garbage.
Instead of a traditional book report, students in Ms. Jarvela’s 6th grade were asked to create a “Book in a Box”. They could choose any book of their choice and had to include 8 items that related to the book and a summary of the novel. The 6th graders excelled in their creativity of this final project and showcasing their individuality!
