Please join our JV/Varsity volleyball team tomorrow evening as they take on the Lake Holcombe Chieftains. They will be recognizing some staff members who have had an impact on their lives at this game as part of a busy homecoming week schedule! 5:45 JV start time and 7:00 for varsity!
Please also feel welcome to come down to the football field where Winter/Birchwood has invited four other schools for the flag football jamboree. That starts at 5:00 pm!
We had so much fun! 🙂🍁
Our high schooler, Cenzie, partnered with the Kinders on a project this week. She brought us on a fall hunt outside, then we tried to glue our found items onto a paper cup. We ran into some problems, but it was a great learning experience! In the end, our new suggestions worked well and these were our creations! Thank you to all who sent us those glass jars!!
We want to extend a huge thank you to the Hayward Piecemakers Quilting Guild for their incredible generosity! 🎉 They have, once again, donated beautiful quilts and books to our 4K students.
Guild members rose to the challenge of creating a quilt inspired by a children’s book, and the results were simply stunning! Each quilt perfectly captured the essence of its corresponding story, making it even more special. 📚❤️
Our students were thrilled to receive these treasures, and we know they will enjoy them for years to come. Thank you, Hayward Piecemakers, for your creativity, dedication, and kindness! You truly make a difference in the lives of our young learners! 💖✨

Fifth graders had a blast reviewing the life cycle of the Monarch! We observed and noted the changes into a chrysalis, saw it emerge, and gently released it in the school's flower garden just in time for it's long, almost 3, 000 mile journey to Mexico. Studying the migration and patterns of the Monarch was so interesting that we learned how to put together a slideshow to share our information with others. When walking around the school grounds looking for signs of Monarch caterpillars, we discovered that Milkweed, which is their only food, is sparse! We decided to continue our project by creating a Milkweed garden! (more details to follow in the spring with the help of Dr. Julie Ray)
The following are a few fun facts we found:
-Monarch caterpillars eat up to 200 times their weight
-They use the sun's position and the Earth's magnetic field to find their way
-Their diet of only milkweed makes both the caterpillars and adult butterflies toxic to predators like birds.
-Male monarchs are identified by the black dots on their hind wings
-A group of butterflies is called a flutter or a kaleidoscope.
