Principal’s Notes–

Our whole school photo to celebrate “Start with Hello” week. Thanks to Mr. Pancoast for taking the photo with his drone, and Mr. G for mapping out the heart!

This week, our 1st graders met members of the QH Fire Dept. and learned all about fire safety.

Grade 4 students participated in electricity labs and were able to run experiments to learn all about electricity.
