Last month, Mrs. Boerigter's 3rd grade classroom watched the metamorphosis of caterpillars to butterflies and then had the opportunity to release them to the wild.




As we are in the countdown to summer and wrapping up the 24-25 school year, we will be posting random collages of pictures to remember this awesome year!









Drummmmmm rolllllllllll! It is May and we are in countdown for the end of the 24-25 school year. And our Eagles are still soaring high!

Reporting live from the outside of the Eagle's Nest ... a little under an hour ago, all K-2 students in the Eagles Nest were seen walking the hallways with smiles and excitement as they were lead outside to the Eagles Nest arena. Reports say the games have begun and the pictures prove this to be fact. We are witnessing a lot of excitement, laughter, and running around ... which leads to the conclusion that the Eagles will be sleeping good tonight!! #MCEFieldFestISTheBEST

Drum roll! Check out these Eagles of the Week for "Demonstrating Responsibility in School" last week. This may look like someone who demonstrates consistent behaviors like being prepared for class, following instructions, completing assignments, doing class jobs, and respecting school property and others. It also involves taking ownership of actions and consequences, and making positive contributions to the learning environment, etc. Ask your Eagle how they demonstrate leadership in the Eagle's Nest! #LearningIsBetterWhenWeAreTogether
