Zak Standerfer and Dave VanDeursen recently conducted a "controlled burn" at the prairie plot next to Sullivan Elementary while students were on Spring Break. The controlled burn helps maintain the health of the habitat by managing weeds and restoring nutrients for desired plant growth.
As sad as we are that our hallways will be silent this coming week, we hope you all have a wonderful spring break! When we return we will be announcing our exciting initiative, On The Same Page, community/school book reading. We will be announcing the book on March 25th and reading will begin that day (one chapter will be read every school day evening). During the initiative, check our Facebook page for video of different guest readers each evening at 6. We will keep you posted on more information!

Mr. Campbell’s class made leprechaun traps using at least one simple machine in their design.
Mrs.Hendry’s 4th grade was excited to share their leprechaun traps. Some worked independently and some worked with their families to use Simple Machines in their construction of a Leprechaun Trap. One student was concerned and asked, “How will the Leprechaun eat if he gets stuck in one during Spring Break?” Mrs.Hendry assured them she’ll check on Monday and release any that get caught.
