Fourth graders in Mrs. Castle's class took on the exciting challenge of programming Finch robots, thanks to the ROE's lending program. Using block coding, students guided the robots through mazes, lit them up with colorful patterns, and explored basic programming concepts with enthusiasm and creativity!
Yearbooks for this school year are on sale now! From now until Spring Break, basic yearbooks are $60 each. After Spring Break, the cost will rise to $75!

In February, our class received and sent Valentine’s Day cards from all over the world! We were thrilled to receive over 100 cards from 43 out of 50 U.S. states, along with some special bonus Valentines from Canada and Germany.
A huge thank you to everyone who took the time to write to us—we had so much fun reading about each state and discovering new fun facts!
At the start of this adventure, students guessed how many states would send us cards, and Addie’s guess of 40 states was the closest!
