Coins for Vets

The fifth graders worked hard and raised over $350 for our area veterans. Each student adopted a classroom and decorated a milk jug to collect the money. They made announcements and created a flyer to send home.  Every day they collected and counted the money from their room. We kept track of donations on a big poster. We were very impressed that our calculations were less than $10 off from what the bank told us!  This money will be used to help out three area veterans in the Hill City/Jacobson area.

Environmental Science

We had a special guest speaker in science today. Brittany Benson is a senior at Hill City School and is also studying at ICC. She taught us a lesson on taking care of our environment. We learned about how to conserve water, composting, and recycling. We really enjoyed having her talk to us today!

Happy Halloween!

Once again, I wasn't feeling well on Halloween so I had to get a sub. I was so thankful that Mrs. Crabeesub could come in for me. She wasn't very happy with all the junk food and partying going on. She thought the kids should be doing more reading, writing and math. She even handed out worksheets during the Halloween parade. The kids had fun at their party, even though they had to deal with a crabby teacher.
