5th/6th graders in Mrs. Rucker's math intervention group competed in a Ball Run Challenge. They had to follow criteria and constraints while working to construct a track that a ping-pong ball could pass through. The challenge required them to try to keep the ball in their run for the longest time possible. There were a lot of creative designs and some really good results! Congrats to our winners- Kaylynn and Ava of team S.K.!

Come enjoy fairy tales as you've never experienced them before! These SF middle schoolers have taken their stage by storm and have concocted a chaotic, sarcastic, hilarious, and mostly kid-friendly dramatic production of The Brothers Grimm Spectaculathon by Don Zolidis. We promise you've never heard tales quite like these, but we're pretty sure you'll have at least an "okay" time!

Shows on March 26th, 27th, and 28th at SFMS.

No refunds.....even if you have no idea what's going on. Most of the cast doesn't either!

Our seven, 5-8th grade Battle of the Books teams put their knowledge to the test today with a practice round as they gear up for competition in the upcoming weeks. These students are diving into some serious reading, with 5th graders tackling 25 books from the Iowa Children's Choice awards list, while our sixth through 8th graders read 15 books from the Iowa Teen Award list. Their focused teamwork and book smarts were on full display this morning!

Our 6th grade students are hard at work editing and finalizing their argumentative writing pieces! They participated in peer conferencing, collaborating with classmates to review each otherโ€™s work, offer feedback, and make thoughtful corrections. Itโ€™s great to see students strengthening their writing while learning the value of constructive feedback and teamwork!
