4-H is canceled for tonight and rescheduled for next Thursday at 630/7 to 730 pm. Sorry for the short notice. Mrs. Q has not been feeling too well these past couple of days, and it caught up with me.
Next Thursday, there will be a craft for the little ones and snacks. The club charter and other paperwork will be ready for the parents to discuss at the meeting.
For now! Could parents please ask their 4-H'ers what they want to learn about or do as a project? And parents, what skills, areas of expertise, or hobbies do you have that would be a great support? Sorry for the short notice & I really look forward to seeing all next Thursday!
Today is all about the letter U in our ABC Countdown… and what better way to celebrate than with an Unbirthday Party! 🎉
But the sweetest surprise? It’s also Mrs. Bilden’s real birthday, and she brought cupcakes for the whole school to celebrate! 🧁

🏕️ Mrs. Schumacher’s Kindergarten Adventure! 🏕️
Today, our curious kindergarteners took a field trip to Turtle River State Park and had an unforgettable day full of learning!
They explored the concept of “Colorful Confusion” — discovering why animals are the colors they are and how it helps them survive in the wild!
After an educational hike through the forest trails, the kids enjoyed a picnic by the river and wrapped up the day with some fun at the playground!
Fresh air, bright minds, and big smiles — what more could we ask for?
Spending time outdoors isn’t just fun—it’s powerful!
Outdoor classrooms help children develop:
• Stronger focus and creativity
• Better physical health and coordination
• A deeper connection to the environment
• Social and emotional growth through hands-on teamwork
Thank you to Turtle River State Park and all the amazing helpers who made this day possible!
