5th grade is wrapping up our ecosystem unit by creating food webs from the Cretaceous! We are using our knowledge of energy flow to build our understanding of how the dinosaurs went extinct.



Please dress your student for the weather and no sandals, please!

Today we visited local businesses to express our gratitude for their continued support of our district and community!
We shared posters highlighting some of the exciting things happening in our JH/HS building and celebrated our Riverhawk Pride with a group photo.
A big THANK YOU to all who continue to support our students, staff, and community—you truly make a difference! 💙
