✨ A Special Day for Our 3rd Graders! ✨

Today was extra magical — our 3rd grade students finally got to meet their penpals in person after weeks of writing back and forth!

After spending time together at the New Albin Townhouse, the class stopped by New Albin Savings Bank to sing “Holly Jolly Christmas” as a special thank you for allowing us to use the Townhouse to host our penpal party.

We are so grateful for their generosity and continued support of our students and community!

What a joyful way to kick off the holiday season!

On Friday evening, Kee and Riceville came together for their annual Achieve Challenge scrimmage and successfully collected a generous food donation while also raising over $600 to support LIFT (Lansing Iowa Food Trust). None of this would have been possible without the support of our community. We sincerely thank you for coming out and supporting both of these teams.

At the end of trimester 1 the 8th grade Industrial Technology Exploratory class designed, built and raced CO2 cars. The winning car was built by Raymond Weymiller. Raymond's car made the top 10 record list and finished 4th all time. Congratulations.

We’re Hiring! Our Elementary School is looking for a caring, energetic paraprofessional to join our team. If you love working with kids and are patient, positive, flexible, and ready to support students of all abilities, we’d love to hear from you. Apply today and help make a difference in our school community!
