Friday was our Medieval Times experience for our 4th graders! Our knights participated in a medieval tournament including games like horseshoes, chariot races, catapults, and tug of war. Then students got to enjoy a medieval feast, watch a live jousting match, and ended it with a medieval dance led by Mrs. Ritenour. A huge shout out to our amazing volunteers, the Shoop family for providing the chicken, the Mayworth family for brining their horse, Dee’s place, and everyone else who made the magic happen! See our Facebook page for lots of pictures.

Families, we've had a lot of items turn up in our Lost and Found recently!

If your child is missing a jacket, sweater, or water bottle (like the ones shown below) or any other item, students can claim items from the stage in the cafeteria.
