Library classes don’t officially begin until Monday, but Mrs. McCollum’s 5th grade homeroom got an early visit this afternoon! πŸ“šβœ¨

They were the FIRST class to correctly answer our very first Wonder Wednesday challenge on Rangers Live and earned 30 minutes of free time in the library! They played, created, explored and enjoyed a little well-earned fun to end the week.

We loved seeing how excited our Rangers were to participate in this new segment on morning announcementsβ€”and we can’t wait to see which class answers the next Wonder Wednesday! πŸ’­

Way to go, Mrs. McCollum’s class!

Our fifth graders in Mrs. Hall’s science class proudly presented their projects at the 3rd Annual Science Fair! Over the past three weeks, these students have worked incredibly hard researching, creating, and preparing their display boards. We’re so proud of their effort, creativity, and dedication. Great job, Rangers!
