The high school held an assembly on Friday, August 19th with Principal Tim Spencer riding in on a motorcycle. There was a school-wide game of heads or tails, students learned/sang the school fight song, staff participated in a display of, “What Not to Wear” and there was a friendly class competition of, “Don’t Forget the Lyrics” (congratulations again Sophomores.) It was a good time and an incredible ending to the 1st week of school.

Numa’s new 4th-grade teacher, Mr. Ryness has been on fire this week! This week he had his students use the engineering process to learn problem solving and perseverance while building Index Card Towers. He also gave his students each a roll of pennies and instructed them to construct a bridge that was big enough to drive a car under it. It took some clever problem-solving and perseverance, but they did an amazing job with their bridges.
E.C. Best 3rd graders all shared how they “sprinkle kindness.” They each created a doughnut and picked what color they wanted their doughnut, frosting, and sprinkles! Then they got a yummy treat to enjoy as well.
