Miss Taylor's Class
Miss Taylor's third-grade students were thrilled to work with Finch robots, thanks to the ROE’s lending program. Using block coding, they programmed the robots to perform various tasks, building confidence and excitement around coding. The experience opened doors to future STEM learning and exploration.
The THS Jazz/Pep Band will travel tomorrow to play at the IHSA Boys Basketball Championship Games in the State Farm Arena at U of I. These students were chosen based on their talents and the level of excellence that they aspire to every day. Please wish them good luck on what will be an excellent performance tomorrow. This experience is a fantastic opportunity for our students!
Miss Basil's Class

In February, our class received and sent Valentine’s Day cards from all over the world! We were thrilled to receive over 100 cards from 43 out of 50 U.S. states, along with some special bonus Valentines from Canada and Germany.
A huge thank you to everyone who took the time to write to us—we had so much fun reading about each state and discovering new fun facts!
At the start of this adventure, students guessed how many states would send us cards, and Addie’s guess of 40 states was the closest!
