Great day for the PBIS reward at VanDemark Farms!!
This afternoon, Julie Arnold visited the third-grade classrooms to share a wonderful introduction to Japanese culture. Under her guidance, students practiced using chopsticks and learned to count to ten by picking up pieces of popcorn. With the help of parent volunteer, Sara Slaughter, they also played Fukuwarai- a traditional game similar to "Pin the Tail on the Donkey"-where blindfolded students arranged facial features like eyes, eyebrows, and lips onto a blank face. The children loved tasting a variety of Japanese treats, including roasted seaweed snacks, jagaimo (potato sticks), Haribo gummy bears, and Pocky sticks. Students crafted jumping frogs through origami and created their own traditional hachimaki headbands. Beyond the activities, students discovered fascinating differences about school life in Japan, learning that Japanese children wear uniforms, attend school for a much longer academic year, and personally clean their classrooms to show respect and take ownership of their space. Thank you, Julie, for such an engaging and educational experience!

Triplets on Twin Day. Mrs. Gross, Mr. Sailer, and Mrs. Ruhenkamp rocked the hallway on Tuesday. A true Triple Double!
🔥 Guilty or not guilty? After reading The Crucible, Mrs. Gross’s 11th grade English students stepped into the hysteria themselves! 🕯️🔍 They worked together, solved the clues, and raced against the clock to escape the Hysteria Escape Room. Thankfully, no witch trials were needed to make it out! 🧙♀️⏳
