Harmony traveled to Troy on Saturday to compete at their Show Choir Invitational. With a fun day, but tough competition, they placed 6th in their division and 12th overall. Next stop Neosho on Saturday, February 14th.

🏈✨ Super Bowl classroom takeover! ✨🏈 We brought all the football energy into 4th grade on Friday! Here’s what our awesome students tackled: 📐 Math in the End Zone! • Reviewed fractions on a number line inspired by football yard markers. • Practiced money skills by “ordering” food from a concession stand. 💵 • Did popcorn math to spiral in previously learned concepts 🍿 📏 Paper Football Engineering Challenge! We tested our "football" to see when changed angles, which made our footballs fly the farthest! Students measured and compared results to determine which method made the paper football go farther — putting science and engineering skills into action. National Inventors Hall of Fame ✍️ Persuasive ELA Play! In ELA, students got creative writing their very own Super Bowl commercial scripts to practice persuasive techniques. 💬📣 Plus, they even designed their own Super Bowl rings to celebrate their hard work and team spirit! 💍🏆🏈📚💜💛#SuperBowlLearning #4thGradeSTEM #MathAndELA #WinningLearning

What an incredible pep rally today! 💜💛
Our students and staff came together to cheer on our boys and girls basketball teams as they advance to the championship round of the Kaysinger Basketball Tournament. The gym was full of energy, pride, and support as we showed our teams just how proud we are of their hard work and determination.

Good luck to both teams—we’re cheering you on all the way! 🏀👏
