Music Notes
With the help of generous donations through DonorsChoose, we were able to purchase a new instrument storage rack for the music room! Thank you to the donors! This will help keep the instruments in a safe, separate and organized place in the music room. Also thank you to the PTA and all those that participated in the Paint Night on January 27. The donation made to the music department was huge and will be very helpful! Thank you!

Rube Goldberg machines
Mrs. Cunningham’s fourth grade class studied and did various experiments with simple machines. Armed with all of their new classroom knowledge, the students brainstormed ideas, used everyday objects, and figured out how to implement them to design a Rube Goldberg style machine of their own, at home. They drew out blueprints and used these to help build their machine.
