The preschool's "Countdown to Christmas Break" activity for today was making "Christmas Slime." A little glue, a little colored baking soda, some slime activator (saline solution), a sprinkle of glitter, and you've got "the best day EVER," according to a few boys in the morning session. They each got to take a little home. Sorry, not sorry... haha

The preschool classes have been doing an activity-a-day for our countdown to Christmas break. Monday was "Decorate the Tree," Tuesday was "Decorate a Stocking," Wednesday was "Make Christmas Presents," and Thursday's activity was "Santa's Special Hot Chocolate." We also had a few moments to call Santa's Workshop and left a message for Santa, wishing him a Merry Christmas! Stay tuned for next week's activities!

This batch of future space colonizers had an amazing time in Colorado Springs! CVS placed 13 out of 28 teams from across the country in head to head with a big score gap below us and nearly tied with the two teams ahead. They built an awesome robot this year and saw some fierce competition and amazing engineering. We're hatching plans for 2025, keep an eye on this group, they're out of this world!!!
We are aware of the issue of not being able to the score on our Hudl streaming. The way the camera has to be placed in the gym there is beam blocking the scoreboard. As of right now we are working with Hudl to find a solution. For the time being we will try to have a student show the score from the stage. Thank you for your patience.

Thank you to "Friends of the Library" for decorating the Christmas tree on stage, and for letting us use the decorations until after both concerts are over!
CVS Lightning Robotics kids and parents will be heading out for Colorado Springs bright and early tomorrow where we'll be competing against 28 other teams for a championship title. We'll be joined by teams from Pennsylvania, Ohio, Oklahoma, Kansas and Colorado.
We are incredibly grateful to the School District, CVS Booster Club and our many other sponsors. No matter what happens this weekend we are sure of two things, we have a phenomenal community of support behind us and the other championship "regulars" won't forget our name after this year.
Let's go Storm!!!
Thank you Stephanie Behrends for coming to the preschool classroom to read and do activities with the kids! This week she read a very special book, "Christmas is Joy" by Emma Dodd. This book was donated to the Chappell Library in honor of one of our preschool students' great grandma. Here is Cal with his reindeer project he made while Mrs. Behrends visited.
The preschool class is learning how to wrap presents...just in time for Christmas!
What a fun project! The preschool students colored on aluminum foil, sprayed it with a little water, and then transferred the color to their snowflakes.
