Mikayla Rowland, William Holman, and Bentley Ross joined Mr. Rehder for lunch on Friday, October 8th at the Hangout for having their names drawn from the 3-R (Responsible, Respectful, and Ready) bags at the assembly last Friday, October 1st.  The Hangout was  generous and gave the 3 students a swirl ice cream cone on the house to end their lunch.  We had a great time for sure!  I'm looking forward to the next group. Photo provided by Jon Rehder.

The 5th/6th American History class welcomed Major Alex Frei to their class recently. Major Frei engaged the students with a lesson on the history and importance of our flag and the generosity of those who have served to protect it. He also demonstrated proper etiquette and care of the flag and oversaw the students putting their new skills into practice. Thank you Major Frei for your service to our country and for sharing your wisdom and patriotism with our kids!  Pictured are Major Alex Frei with Madeline Wassmuth and JohnPaul Seubert demonstrating flag folding for the class.
