Reminder that we will be having a shelter in place drill in both buildings today, December 16th.
Mrs. Roise’s class had an exciting afternoon! They made gingerbread cookies, and those sneaky buggers ran away! The gingerbread men left hints all around the building for the students to follow. They were finally found on the students’ desks, decorated, and enjoyed!!


On Monday, December 16 we will be conducting a shelter in place drill in both buildings. (HS and Elem.) A reminder will be sent out Monday morning and again during the actual drill. It will be labeled as a drill.
Essler's Human A&P students are learning the bones of the axial skeleton and parts of a long bone. We used Quizlet to print off our Power Words and then turned it into a game of Heads Up! Their partners could point at parts, sutures, or use verbal descriptions to give clues!




Students read books about a tree that had 6 ornaments. They then decorated their own trees with ornaments.

Shout out to six of our junior high/high school students! After school, the Pepsi delivery person had a stack of bottled water fall over, sending a great number of bottles to the ground. Stanley students stepped in right away (without being asked) and helped with the clean up! They made short work of the situation and had the delivery back on track in no time.

The online code for the junior/senior high school winter sports photos is EVT7SQZ3V.
Elementary Math Tip: Kids benefit greatly from playing board games! Your child will learn teamwork, patience, and how to win and lose gracefully. Board games can also help with brain and language development. Simple games teach colors, counting, hand-eye movement, following directions, and waiting your turn. As you get older, strategy games help you plan, organize, and make decisions. Sitting down and finishing a board game without interruptions can build attention spans and interpersonal relationships with those who play together. So grab a board game and have some FUN - everyone will benefit!
Today Mr. Hellman’s 4th grade asked Mrs. Lindberg’s Kindergarteners “Do you want to build a snowman?” They said yes of course!
