Waterville Grade School students had a great day celebrating Kansas! Students enjoyed rotations with guest presenters including a Park Ranger from Homestead National Historical Park sharing a buffalo trunk, the Blue Rapids Museum providing a bingo game for us, Regina Blaske with Parents as Teachers reading us a Kansas story, Cindy Kulp sharing beekeeping with us, old time games during PE, and square dancing during music! Thank you to all our guests for making this day special for us!

Mrs. Williams class worked on booklets for Kansas Day.

Fourth graders also enjoyed doing a scavenger hunt to answer an infographic this morning and a crossword to learn about history, facts, and everything Kansas today!

The 4th graders did a study on Marshall County Dirt celebrating Kansas Day. They layered the different stages to build a good "cup" of dirt out of wafers, pudding, cookies, pretzels and sprinkles. Eating dirt never tasted soooo good!

REMINDER: Saturday morning, Jan. 31, the REACH OUT Food Pantry in Blue Rapids will be open to serve Valley Heights families at the Methodist Church, 105 W 4th Street. 9am-10am. #foodforyourtable
