CASE CLOSED! MISSION ELEMENTARY STEM CAMP ACCOMPLISHED!

What an absolutely mind-blowing 3 days of STEM camp this week! Our brilliant young scientists, engineers, and cadets took on three massive hands on challenges and absolutely crushed them. Here is a look inside the three rooms they conquered:

Room 3: The Case of the Exploding Science Fair Volcano
Our elite Forensic Crime Units stepped into a crime scene! Acting as forensic chemists, CSIs, and trace evidence analysts, students tested chemical residues, matched footprints, analyzed pH levels, and examined handwriting to catch the science fair saboteur. Case closed!

Room 2: NASA Mission Control Escape
"Find life near Mars!" That was the final code our cadets cracked to save the International Space Station. From designing straw-powered rockets and navigating "zero-gravity" laser fields to building re-entry capsules that protected marshmallow astronauts from a stairway drop, our teams showed ultimate teamwork!

Room 1: Rubber Band Car Engineering
The factory floor was buzzing! Students solved riddles to scavenge their car parts, learned the physics of friction and axles, and engineered custom rubber band cars. They even built their own cardboard " neighborhoods" and calibrated their vehicles to successfully "drive" the farthest.

A HUGE THANK YOU to our phenomenal teacher volunteers and our energetic high school volunteers! We could not have pulled off this unforgettable week without your passion, leadership, and dedication.

4th grade students presented checks to the Jefferson County Humane Society and Helping Hands Food Pantry. They raised $2,756 from their Market Day project and voted to split the profits between the two of them!

Congrats to Mrs. Gooch's 2nd grade students who reached their reading and math goals for the year! Way to go! They were rewarded with a new book of their choice.

The third graders completed a "Future Me" project. They dressed up and presented information on a future job that they hope to be when they grow up! We can't wait to see what all of these students become!

Mrs. Wright's members of the Shoe Tying Club! Great job!

Wagstaff Shoe Tying Club part 2

Miss Wagstaff's members of the Shoe Tying Club! Great job!

First grade students in Miss Wagstaff and Mrs. Wright's classes spent the last two weeks mastering the art of tying a shoe. They did such a great job! We have a large shoe tying club!

Thank You to Luke Skiddmore and Lexi Ammon for bring K9 Diva to show off her skills to Mrs. Goochs' 2nd grade class.

Preschoolers submitted a coloring page for the National Child Abuse Prevention Month Coloring Contest from A Caring Place Child Advocacy Center. These students were our 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners from Mrs. McVicker’s Preschool class. Pictured from left to right: Ella Ternasky (2nd place) Peyton Haught (1st place) Kai Wilson (3rd place)

These first grade students are "tricky!" They read ALL 93 trick words from Fundations! Great job!

The 3rd graders had so much fun with the Flat Stanley project in Mrs Mazar’s class! ✈️📬

Each student created their very own Flat Stanley, mailed them out to family and friends, and then wrote creative stories about all of the exciting adventures their Stanley experienced along the way! From traveling to new places to meeting new people, the students used their imagination, writing skills, and creativity to bring their stories to life. 🌎✨

Mrs Mazar is so proud of the hard work they put into this project and loved seeing their excitement as letters and stories came back to the classroom. Thank you to all of the families and friends who helped make this such a memorable learning experience for our students! ❤️📚

PART 2 On Friday, the first grade students enjoyed walking to the Dairy Isle. They ended the school year with a sweet treat!
