Mesick Elementary students had thoughts of warmer weather today as they played beach bingo for our February student celebration. Students wore their summer beach attire and had a lot of fun as they played. One thing that was different this year was that we paired our upper elementary students with lower elementary students. The upper ele students acted as helpers to our lower ele students. It was neat to see the students work together and to see our older students take on leadership roles. Thank you to all of our staff for their help, and to our students for working so hard this year!
Students in the Honors Environmental Studies class have been reading The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind.
