🥣 For over three decades, the tradition of Stone Soup has been cherished in 1st grade! This special stone has been handed down through numerous teachers over the years. Surprisingly, it creates a delicious soup! Both 1st grade students and teachers add ingredients to whip up a warm meal, all enjoyed on their handmade Thanksgiving placemats! We are so grateful for these little turkeys! 🥰

Tied for the world's highest score? Mind blown! 🤯
The team “Birthday Boy 4869C” made up of seniors Daniel Dunbar and James Paskey, made it to the semi-finals at the Lomira Early Season Kickoff: Blended VEX V5 Robotics Competition. This ranked them in the top 8 teams of the competition. During one round of the tournament portion of the competition, the team beat another alliance 142 to 0 and were told by the referees that they were currently tied for the highest score in the world.
This season's VEX V5 challenge, "Push Back," involves scoring by moving "Blocks" into "Goals," controlling zones, and parking robots in alliance zones by the end of the match. Great job, team! 🎉🤖
