Officer Steve was a guest reader in Mrs. Wixom's class for Read Across America week. He read to the class and also provided some excellent safety tips. Thank you, SRO Schlosser, for always thinking of ways to keep our kids safe!
Mr. Hastings and the 6th-graders have been testing the potential and kinetic energy of matchbox cars and balls, and comparing their results. These halls may spark a flashback for some of our older Blackbird alumni... the old elementary hallway!

Great job, Blackbirds!
