Happy Engineers Week! Take a look at our STEAM crews meeting challenges to think creatively and problem solve in hands-on ways! We have purchased some cool new equipment this year that allows us to incorporate more STEAM types of thinking, which stands for: Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math. Stop by the library to see our new 3D printers, robotics, art projects, etc. These tools are being used in classrooms to support learning as well as providing students with fun options when it's too cold to go outside for recess.

Our trout are growing fast! They have grown from eggs to the alevin stage, meaning they have hatched but still have the yolk sac attached to their bellies for nourishment, and now they're in the fry stage of their life cycle. At the end of January, Mrs. Tara Hodges, with the Wyoming Game and Fish Department, talked to our students about the rainbow trout habitat in Wyoming.

You may have heard that we celebrated winter WYTOPP improvement with bead battles last week. Paper-rock-scissors skills throughout the week determined the winner in each class K-5, who then challenged me. It was a very competitive event and I hate to admit it, but I lost more of those paper-rock-scissors battles than I won. (Perhaps the chanting derailed me?)

Naomi McNiven hosted a family dance, Dalley Basset organized and hosted a volleyball tournament, and Adelle Olson organized a giving tree in the school foyer and delivered the items to St. Vincent's Hospital during break.

Our Student Council held a K-12 assembly today to kick start Penny Wars! Starting Jan. 13, elem., MS, and HS levels will be competing against each other to raise the most "positive" funds for their group and possibly to "sabotage" the other groups by adding silver coins to their jars. All proceeds will go to the Make-A-Wish foundation. See the flyer for details.
