The fourth graders' story this week was about "Questioning Movies." Today, we enjoyed popcorn while learning how directors use special tricks to influence their audiences. Big shout-out to Mr. Ehrlich, who created a video on special effects and answered our questions about media!

I love STC
As the days get shorter, it's getting darker earlier during Colt's Round-Up & JH sports practice pick up. Slow down in school zones and stay alert for children who may be harder to see at dusk Consider adding reflective gear or bright colors to your child's backpack or jacket. Always use designated crosswalks and make eye contact with drivers before stepping into the street. Let's work together to keep all of our students safe!
