The 3rd grade class had an extra special visitor last week, Sarah Shaffer. Founder of Sarah’s Science (This Land is Your Land), Sarah engaged them in a quick lesson on electricity and then let them run free with their creativity to create spin art. The students didn’t want the lesson to end and were sharing strategies and experiments with each other. Thanks again, Sarah!
First Graders celebrated their 100th day of school by making “100 Days Smarter” cheerios necklace, wrote numbers 1-100, rolled the dice to reach a 100 and many more! Students enjoyed their celebration and are proud of their growth after 100 days of school.

On Thursday, February 8th, students in the Hoot Owls, Kindergarten and 1st grade celebrated the completion of 100 days of school so far this year! Parties, games, snacks, and activities all centered around the big number 100.
Last week, the Owlets celebrated the end of their Transportation Unit by bringing their bikes/scooters/trikes to campus. They also got to ride around the block on the Saklan School bus! What a fun day!
The entire Middle School was treated to a talk about the Attack on Pearl Harbor by retired Navy Captain and former Commanding Officer of Pearl Harbor, Tom Marnane. A big part of the talk centered around the impact the event had on him as an 8-year-old child headed to the bus stop when the first attack on the air base at Wheeler Field took place. His knowledge of the history of the attack, capabilities of the ships and weapons served to answer the questions of many students. His story of compassion and perseverance is an inspiration and we are very grateful to him, once again, for sharing his experiences with our students!
