In honor of World Kindness Day, Mrs. Korpal and Mrs. Novakovich's first grade students brought a special surprise to the College Park secretaries. The surprise was a bouquet of handmade flowers that each said something they appreciated about Mrs. Morrell and Mrs. Schwarzkopf. Gratitude expressed included:
"Thank you for your hard work."
"Thank you for helping when my belly hurts."
"Thank you for helping with my tooth."
"Thank you for helping me find my way."
Many more sentiments of appreciation were included in the bouquet. College Park's first graders were spreading kindness in a meaningful way!

For the third consecutive year, College Park fourth graders coordinated a sock drive in October. Creatively named "Socktober," these Panthers create announcements and deliver them to the school. Students set a goal to collect, count newly donated socks over the lunch hour, add them to the total, and determine the number of socks left to reach their goal. The donations are delivered to those in need through St. Ben's Community Meal Program and Capuchin Community Services, in partnership with St. Mary Parish in Hales Corners. This year, the fourth graders collected a total of 1,067 pairs of socks! To date, our students and families have donated 3,160 pairs for people in need.
Thanks to all who supported this project!
Canterbury fourth graders have completed their study of Energy in science. Their learning ended with a fantastic hands-on project: building wind turbines. This activity helped to demonstrate a key concept: how energy is captured and brought into a system. The students did a great job applying their knowledge!

A group of Greendale students attended the "Heavy Metals Tour" event at MATC to learn about several high demand fields incorporating Engineering and Metalwork. The annual event is held in partnership with the "MATC Metallica Trades Program" a collaboration with Metallica Scholars Initiative (MSI). This national program, run by the band Metallica's All Within My Hands Foundation, provides funding to community colleges to enhance their career and technical education programs. MATC has received grants from MSI to support students in various skilled trades, including welding, HVAC, and manufacturing, with scholarships, safety gear, and other resources.
Our students took part in hands-on opportunities in a variety of trades careers during the event. The Greendale team also won the coveted Structural Engineering contest over several other schools to take the yearly prize.
October “Highland View PAW-some Award” Winners Enjoy Their Prize!
These Highland View Panthers enjoyed their "PAW-some" award prize today -- a school tour with Mr. Bob! Each month, students from each 5K-5th-grade classroom, as well as the specials classes, are recognized by staff for their “above and beyond” demonstrations of what it means to be “PAW-some” (safe, respectful, responsible, and kind) at Highland View. These students are ambassadors of our school-wide expectations and display the positive qualities of a hard-working student, a good citizen, and a role model in our learning community. Their reward is special handling at lunch and then each selects a reward from a prize menu.

Sixth graders became scientists "out in the field" during the Life Science field trip this week. Students gathered both qualitative and quantitative observations using as many of their senses as possible. Then the students made inferences from these observations based on their experiences. It was a great blend of learning and fun for all.
