Our students and staff sent the Polar Bears off with tons of spirit and good luck for tonight’s game.
Go Bears!
Using balloons, dominoes, tennis balls, and sheets of paper, they explored how forces act and react in different situations. These hands-on activities helped make complex concepts easier to see, understand, and apply.











We blended descriptive writing practice with a festive treat today! Second graders transformed plain sugar cones into beautiful, edible Christmas trees using frosting and an array of colorful candies.
They practiced using vivid adjectives to describe the crunchy, sparkly, and sweet details of their creations before enjoying every last bite. What a delicious way to learn!
Students were given a collection of bones and tasked with assembling them correctly and answering questions about specific processes and intricacies of each bone.




Leading the way were Addy Bacon with 16 points and Lainey Thomas with 11 points. Great job, ladies!
Way to go, Bears! 🏀

The Grinch Strikes Again! 💚🎄
While our second graders were in Ms. Cross’s room working on a special project, something mischievous happened back in their rooms. When they returned, things were definitely disrupted, and the mystery was on!
Our second graders wasted no time launching their investigation. They compared clues, shared ideas, and debated their theories with full determination. And after all their detective work, they’ve reached one big conclusion:
They think Riley Newton is the Grinch.🔍
Each student had their own reasons and their own “evidence,” and they are certain Riley is up to no good again. This Grinch mystery is driving everyone crazy… because we still can’t quite figure out who it really is!
Stay tuned — the hunt continues!👀

Throwback Thursday!
Today’s throwback comes from the 1999 Northern Lites and features our Future Farmers of America hard at work preparing food for their “Baskets of Cheer” program at Christmas time.
This photo is a great reminder that the spirit of giving and community pride has always been at the heart of what it means to be a Polar Bear.


Last night our K–3rd graders took the stage for their Christmas program, followed by an impressive performance from our 6th grade band. The kids did an absolutely amazing job! Their holiday spirit truly shined. We are so proud of each and every one of them!
