Fourth-grade students worked on STEM/Environmental Science on Friday! Students are combining environmental science, math and engineering to create a machine to clean up space trash.

Second grade had their first S.T.E.M. Friday! They created the  "Apple Annihilator". The challenge was: Using apples and school supplies to build an apple wrecking ball to “annihilate” markers (knock them over).

6th graders wished Mrs. Adams the best of luck for this Saturday's Race!  She is running the Imogene Pass Trail Race from Ouray to Telluride

IMPORTANT: Please be aware that sometimes you will get a call/email about your child being "tardy" to one or more classes. This is does not necessarily mean that they were tardy at the beginning of the day, it could be any number of their classes during the school day. Please speak with your child about getting to class on time and communicating with their teacher if a tardy does occur.
