The fourth grade students made "elephant toothpaste" to create, identify characteristics of, and observe a chemical reaction. A good time was had by all!
Third grade students read a nonfiction book with a science experiment description at the end. The students followed the directions to learn how water travels inside plants. They noticed how the colored water traveled up the celery's stock to its leaves.
Just a reminder that Elementary Instrument Rental Night will take place this evening (9/18) in the elementary music room, 5:30-7:00. Representatives from CA House music will be on hand to assist students in selecting an instrument. If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Bruno.
West Greene Student Government will be sponsoring a "Field of Flags" in honor of our Veterans.

Happy 1st Day of School! We had ourselves one of the best First Days in quite some time. Our students were so polite and welcoming on their first day back. It was nice to see their smiling faces in the hallways again. We appreciate everyone's collaborative efforts from parents to teachers, cafe to custodial staff, and bus drivers to clerical for all of their efforts.
This year is already hitting differently than the previous ones...Let's make this year the best one yet! #PioneerProud
Roman Thomas completed all 12 weeks of his summer practice packets and brought them back on the first day of school! Way to go, Roman! He got to choose a book from the vending machine!
"We have Liftoff!"
Our summer program came to a close Friday, June 28 with a community picnic after two weeks of exploring Space! Students traveled to Carnegie Science Center this week, built their own models of our Solar System, built their own space shuttles from Legos, and shared what they had learned with their parents/guardians on our last day. We had a BLAST! Thank you all for joining us.
We hope everyone has an amazing summer and we can't wait for our next summer's adventures.
