Monday, March 23rd, marked the beginning of Read Across America Week, a celebration of the joy and importance of reading. To kick things off, our dress-up theme was "Green Out," and students showed their spirit by wearing as much green as they could. It was a fun and festive way to start a week dedicated to books and imagination!
Today, Thursday, March 26th we wrapped our Read Across America Week with a Pajama Movie Party, where K-5th grades watched Back to the Outback.

2026-2027 Calendar Parent Vote:
A voting form that came from Survey Monkey went out yesterday afternoon around 4 p.m. to give parents an opportunity to vote for the School Calendar that they prefer for the upcoming 2026-2027 School Year. The form went out to the parent/guardian emails we have listed in POWER SCHOOL.
Even though it says in Survey Monkey that the voting survey was sent to all email addresses that were uploaded, some parents are saying they did not receive the email, even after checking spam, junk mail, and trash. IF YOU ARE A PARENT/GUARDIAN WHO DID NOT GET THE EMAIL, please double check your spam or junk mail. If you still aren't able to find the survey email, you are welcome to come into the elementary office or call and cast a vote for either Calendar Option 1 or Calendar Option 2 (see attached).
The school board approved going forward with just a 5-4 Hybrid Calendar option this year, so parents have the opportunity to choose from two 5-4 Hybrid options. The first semester is identical with both calendar options. The major difference between the two options can be found in the second semester. Option 1 has a similar Easter/Spring Break as this school year and school gets out before Memorial Day Weekend. Option 2 has a week long Easter/Spring Break and school gets out after Memorial Day Weekend and the first week of June.
VOTING WILL CLOSE AT NOON ON MONDAY, MARCH 30TH.
Thank you for voting on next year's school calendar.
Students in the 3-Dimensional Design class took a field trip to Mountain Arts Pottery in Four Corners to see how pottery is mass produced. After being blown away by the efficiency of the potters there, they traveled to Bozeman to explore two art galleries. It was impactful to see art from the beginning to the final stage where it is sold to customers. Students were inspired by what they saw and ready to create their own ceramic pieces with new energy.
Kindergarten and 4th Grade students went to the Madison Valley Manor Yesterday afternoon to read to the residents there. Both students and residents had a great time!

Sixth grade students have been learning how to play chess during their library time. While chess is a fun and challenging game, it also helps strengthen important academic skills. One of the biggest benefits is improving visual memory, which plays an important role in reading development. As students remember patterns, positions, and strategies on the board, they are also exercising the same memory skills used when recognizing words and understanding text.
After learning the rules, practicing strategies, and playing several matches, students wrapped up the unit with a chess tournament. The competition was exciting, and students showed great focus, patience, and sportsmanship throughout the games.
Congratulations to Emmett Putman, who earned the title of Class Chess Champion!

3rd Grade News from Mrs. Hubner's Class: 3rd Graders are working on circuit board projects. They began by building circuits with batteries and Christmas lights and learning how electricity works. Then they built boards to identify the continents and oceans. They are using foil as their electric conductor. When they are finished, they will be able to practice their continents and oceans by seeing if their circuit lights up. Nice job 3rd graders!
