Over the last couple of weeks the 3rd grade students at Riverview have had a great time learning all about the Scientific Method. One of their favorite experiments was figuring out which liquid would dissolve candy corn the fastest. They all really enjoyed being scientists!
This morning at approximately 10:00 AM, a Wautoma High School student left the building in an angry manner without permission. The student went toward the Bird Creek Park Area. To ensure the safety of this student and all students/staff at Parkside School and Wautoma High School, we placed both Parkside School and Wautoma High School on Soft Lock Down/Shelter in Place until the student was safely placed in custody. With the assistance of law enforcement we were able to secure the student at 11:30 AM and the Soft Lock Down/Shelter in Places were lifted at both schools.
Today Mrs. Wagner's second graders and Ms. Lyons' kindergartners had book buddies. The second graders brought their book boxes to the kindergartners. The students read stories, shared book knowledge, and showed what great readers do!

First graders in Redgranite are finishing their Monarch Butterfly unit by participating in the Symbolic Migration Project. The Symbolic Migration unites children across North America through the migration of symbolic ambassador butterflies. The students created symbolic monarch butterflies and sent them to Mexico. Children who live beside the monarchs’ winter sanctuaries in Mexico will protect the paper butterflies and return them in the spring. Through the Symbolic Migration, students are united by the monarch butterfly and celebrate its spectacular migration. They learn authentic lessons of conservation and international cooperation.
