Our fourth graders wrapped up their unit, "A Literal and Figurative Great Heart," in the best way—writing their four-paragraph essays while enjoying heart-shaped pancakes for breakfast! ❤️🥞 Learning and delicious treats go hand in hand! #GreatHeart #PantherPride #FourthGradeFun #LearningWithHeart #PantherClaw

Shout out town population: these guys! ⬆️ We were able to celebrate so many students and staff members today as a true panther claw. We are truly starting to embody the panther way as an entire group, and we love to see it! 🎉🐾🎊 #PantherClaw

Today, we have the absolute pleasure of celebrating Miss Teegan Olsen! Teegan was voted as our K-6 #SourcesOfStrength Student of the Month for the month of October! Here is what Teegan's nominating teacher had to say about her! "I believe that Teegan should be student of the month because she is a friend to all students. She demonstrates great flexibility and leadership by being able to work with anyone. She will always encourage fellow students to do their best and help them through difficult tasks. When doing partner reading, Teegan keeps her partners on task. She ensures that her group not only completes the task, but does so to the best of their ability. Teegan also makes sure that everyone is included. When we were doing a classroom reading activity where students could choose any classmate to read next, she picked the one student who had not had a turn yet instead of choosing her best friend. Teegan embodies what a good leader is." Very much deserved, Teegan. Congrats!🎊 #PantherClaw

House Fiducia keeps climbing to the top, but don’t count the other houses out just yet! 🏆💚 There are still plenty of competitions left, and anything can happen! Who will take the lead next? #HouseCompetitions #PantherPride #FiduciaRising #GameOn #PantherClaw #ACHouseGames

Please join us is celebrating one of our amazing seniors, Mr. Ryan Alberding! Ryan was voted as our #SourcesOfStrength Student of the Month for the month of October! Here is what Ryan's nominating teacher had to say about him: "Ryan has been a pillar of positive friendship and physical health, lifting his peers every day. He constantly pushes classmates in his strength and conditioning class to always do more and be more, which is important in both the gym and in life. Ryan serves as a positive friend to people outside of his regular friend group, frequently reaching out to elementary students to give them encouragement and support. He serves as a source of strength for all who cross paths with him." 🎉Congrats, Ryan! Very well deserved! #PantherClaw

While some of our elementary students studied heat and thermal energy, our youngest Panthers were busy learning about fire safety! 🔥👩‍🚒 Huge thanks to Mr. Christensen for an engaging and informative presentation! Keeping our Panthers safe and smart! #FireSafety #PantherPride #PantherClaw #LearningTogether

Our 5th and 6th graders wrapped up their thermal energy and heat science unit with an adventurous field trip to Healy Reservoir! 🏕️ They put their shelter-making skills to the test in a competition to see whose shelter held the most heat. For lunch, they cooked up chili and cornbread in Dutch ovens, and even took a quick trip to the Clearmont Historical Building! Such a memorable day of learning and exploring! 🌲🔥 #PantherPride #HandsOnLearning #ScienceInTheField #ClearmontAdventures #PantherClaw

Members of the Student Council are traveling to Riverton for the annual Student Council Convention. This year all of the Wyoming Student Councils are participating in a community service project where they are collecting items to send to victims of Hurricane Helene. Our Council has decided to donate smaller items since our space is limited in the suburban vehicle we will be riding in on our trip to Riverton. Items we are asking for are: gloves socks scarves hand warmers If you can donate an item or two we would appreciate it. The donation box is in Mrs. Ellingrod's office. We need these items by Nov. 14. Thanks!

They’re the mean, green, Fiducia machine! 💚💪 Big congratulations to our new house leader this week! Keep bringing that energy, Fiducia—let’s see what you can accomplish! #FiduciaPride #HouseLeader #PantherPride #GreenMachine #HouseFiducia #PantherPride

The Houses went head-to-head today in a pumpkin carving contest, each creating a design that represents their unique spirit! 🎃 Here’s the twist—they only had 10 minutes! Awards were given for house representation, elementary votes, and the number of seeds inside their pumpkins. Congrats to Herculean for the most seeds, Fiducia for winning the elementary votes, and Indomidus for best house representation! 🏆 Such a fun and festive way to show off our Panther pride! #HouseCompetition #PantherPride #HalloweenFun #PumpkinCarvingContest #PantherClaw

12 months of joy - Can you guess the holidays our staff dressed as for Halloween today? #PantherClaw

On this spooky Halloween day 🎃, our 5th and 6th graders got into the science spirit by experimenting with thermal energy! ❄️➡️☀️ It started out chilly, but the sun came out and heated the air inside their bags—bringing science to life! 🔥 Science is awesome! #HalloweenScience #ThermalEnergy #PantherPride #HandsOnLearning #PantherClaw

Much progress was made this week on our parking lots. The parking lots torn out consisted of cracked asphalt, poorly installed, over a base of soil that had become saturated to a point of having lost structural integrity. The new parking lots will be 6" of concrete poured over 6" of crushed aggregate base. The lots will provide safe parking and access to the building for years to come. This large project is being funded with major maintenance funds - those provided the school district to care for our facilities by the state facilities commission. #PantherClaw

The elementary kids loved spending time with the older students today—especially when it got messy! Oobleck fun for the win! 💚👧👦 There’s nothing like hands-on learning (literally)! #PantherPride #HandsOnLearning #OobleckFun #MessyScience #PantherClaw
