Mrs Gaschen’s second grade class is working on direction writing. Students worked all week writing and rewriting directions on how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Today we tried them out. We may have had to rewrite our instructions one more time, but finally we got some yummy pbj’s! Most of us really enjoyed getting to eat them.
Our afternoon preschool had a “beary” good day today! We went on a bear hunt, made a bear snack, created our own bear cave, and found a bear friend during yoga time.

📢ATTENTION 6th, 8th, 10th, and 12th grade parents: Our school will soon be administering the Kansas Communities That Care (KCTC) Student Survey*. This survey is taken by 6th, 8th, 10th and 12th grade students statewide. We believe this survey is a valuable tool to help us understand how students behave, think and feel about alcohol, marijuana and other drug use, bullying and school safety. All parents must sign and return this form to school by January 13, 2023. To learn more about which survey questions our school district will administer to students, please contact your school administrator; EMS-913-886-3870 or HS-913-774-8515. Thank you in advance for your cooperation. Click here to complete the survey: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeS9tRL35x0KetWoIw8zIfrdmrnC2xY9Vnjx1AEj7x6ckFL8A/viewform?usp=pp_url
