Fall Festival Friday
Our students have been studying biotic and abiotic factors in ecosystems. As part of our ecosystem unit, we took a nature walk to look at living and non-living things. The students made notes about the local plant and animal life around the school using what they know about what characteristics or functions all living things have.
Cake Donations needed for our Fall Festival Friday, October 20.

We are so proud of our students, teachers, faculty and staff, as well as our parents and community members who all worked collaboratively last year to help our students grow and achieve at very high levels. We increased from Average to Good in the Student Achievement aspect of the State Report Card from 2022 to 2023 and our overall score increased 3 points. We were just .55 points away from receiving an Excellent rating this year. #dacusvillegrown #growthmindset #wewillbeexcellent2024

After learning about the changing leaves and how leaves fall to the ground, Mrs. Edwards’ class enjoyed going on a nature walk to collect leaves. Then, they used their findings to make a “leaf man.” We are loving the fall season and all the fun it brings!
