Elementary students celebrated meeting their A.R. goal in the spring on Friday, September 4. Students had a total of 1,500 Accelerated Reader points. The plan was to do the water party in May if they met the goal. However, due to remote learning, the party was postponed to the beginning of this school year. Once the school switched to remote learning last spring, the students were able to take their Accelerated Reader quizzes from home to finish their goals. Teachers paired up Friday afternoon and planned different sta- tions for the students to rotate through. Students en- joyed human bubbles, water balloon toss, water squirter relay, water balloon relay, and water balloon volleyball Pictured above is the Kindergarten and 1st Kinlee Goodrich, Madilynn McEntee, and Kamryn graders creating human sized bubbles.
