Fooled by Fluff! Today, first grade teachers had a little fun with their classes by teaching about a Marshmallow Farm. We did a writing activity using ideas about marshmallow farming. Then we decorate at marshmallow and finally got to eat one! At the end of the lesson students found out they had been fooled- that marshmallows didn't really grow on trees!

Quack, Quack, PAT is back!
Monday April 6, 2026 will be our next group connection activity. We invite families with children ages 1-5 to come and create the cutest rubber ducky based off of a book character. See flyer for details!

🎓 Senior Spotlight: Channing Bryce Byrne 🎓 Channing Bryce Byrne is the son of Nichole Stagaman and Webb Byrne. He is the brother of Caiden Byrne, Connor Byrne, and Makayla VonWaldner. During high school, Channing has been actively involved in baseball and basketball. In his free time, he enjoys playing video games, spending time with friends, and swimming with his family. When reflecting on his school life, Channing shared that he will miss hanging out in the hallway with Mr. Miley. His favorite teacher is Coach Luttrell, whom he appreciates for always taking the time to support him. One important lesson Channing learned in high school is to “not take things for granted.” Some of his favorite memories include stopping by Mrs. West’s room to enjoy her snacks. Channing says Coach Kyle has had the biggest influence on him, teaching him how to become a better man. A fun fact about Channing is that he claims to be the best volleyball player to ever come out of Winona. His advice to underclassmen is, “Don’t take your friends for granted.” He hopes to be remembered as someone who was always there for others and a true friend. After graduation, Channing plans to attend lineman school and hopes to one day spoil his mother. He would love to travel to California, and if he had to eat one meal for the rest of his life, it would be sushi—although his mom’s cooking will always be his favorite. Channing, we wish you the very best in everything ahead. Keep being the kind, loyal person everyone knows you to be—you’ll do great things. We’re proud of you!

8th Grade just finished learning about The Sun-Earth-Moon System in Science class. We took advantage of the nice weather we have been having and used chalk to draw the phases of the moon.

Mrs. Dixon’s Anatomy students took their learning beyond the classroom and into real-world experience with an unforgettable trip to St. Louis for a cadaver lab visit. This hands-on opportunity gave students a deeper understanding of the human body, something that simply can’t be replicated through textbooks alone. From studying muscles and organs up close to seeing how everything works together, this experience brought their lessons to life in a powerful way.
These students represented our school incredibly well. A huge thank you to Mrs. Dixon for going above and beyond to provide such meaningful, real-world experiences for her class.
