Harrison celebrated Be an Upstander Week, the school’s annual anti-bullying initiative! 💙
Students and staff participated in fun dress-up days, including Spirit Day, Solid Color Day, Twin Day, Pajama Day, and Kindness Never Gets Old Day, which coincided with the 100th day of school.
Throughout the week, teachers led lessons on how to identify bullying and empowered students with strategies for what to do if they or others experience it—reinforcing the importance of kindness, courage, and standing up for one another.🫶✨

Over the past two weeks, Ms. Waters’ 6–8 math students at O’Leary Middle School designed and built their own Geometric Cities from the ground up! 🏙️📐
Budding architects identified 2-D and 3-D shapes, applied their knowledge of area and perimeter to thoughtfully plan city layouts, and used shape patterns (nets!) to construct unique buildings and city features.
The project wrapped up with student presentations to Mrs. Mahlke, O’Leary’s librarian, who enjoyed touring a collection of creative, mathematically designed cities.
Each one was as unique as its creator!🤩

Growing Stories in the Classroom 🌱📖
Ms. Heinz’s 11th-grade English students are cultivating "Little Shop of Horrors" in the most creative way! Each student designed and built their own Audrey II out of playdough, and the results are both impressive and delightfully mischievous 😈🌿
It is always exciting to see literature bloom off the page and into students’ hands 👏

🌟 Help us celebrate Peggy Nickerson, 5th-grade teacher at Lincoln, and our Certified Employee of the Month! 🍎
Originally from Blackfoot, Peggy is a self-proclaimed “national park nerd” who loves visiting and learning about our national parks. She also enjoys disc golf and getting lost in a good book. Peggy hopes to pass on a love for the books she reads with her students. When asked about her best day on the job, she shared that there isn’t just one, everyday is filled with small joys, and we think that’s what makes her the wonderful teacher she is! 📖✨
From the principal:
“I am honored to recognize Peggy Nickerson as our Certified Employee of the Month. As a fifth-grade teacher, leadership team member, and grade-level lead, she brings a steady, calm presence to everything she does, managing her classroom with both kindness and grace. Peggy not only serves the students in her classroom, but all students in our building — consistently going above and beyond, supporting after-school events, and warmly welcoming new staff.”

Where I Am From: Reflecting and Sharing 📝🎤

He hopes to one day visit every Major League Baseball stadium ⚾🏟️
