Congratulations to these 8th grade students for their 1st place ribbons for their science fair projects! Wonderful work!

Special shoutout to our tanager school based therapist at the middle school, Kendra, for all she does for our students and our building! We appreciate you!


Educators Rising students have been learning more about the policies that make up the “unseen” side of the education world. These students will be learning about laws and policies, and hearing about the world of teaching from future teachers at the University of Iowa. We will be presenting to the School Board this spring, discussing our experience at the Iowa State Educators Rising Conference, and some students will be competing with research projects and speeches highlighting the various points of view on the more difficult or new issues that teachers see in the classroom. #EdRising25 @EducatorsRising
