Today, our McClusky-Goodrich family had the joy of celebrating School Resource Officer Day with Deputy Thompson, and our hearts are full. Students and staff packed the elementary lunchroom with smiles, high-fives, and a lot of hugs! Deputy Thompson's calm presence, sense of humor, and genuine connection with kids make a difference far beyond any single moment, and it was special to see our students say "thank you" back to him today. We are deeply grateful for Deputy Thompson's commitment to building relationships, showing up for our students, and being a trusted adult in our halls and classrooms. Thank you, Deputy Thompson!

Mrs. Stober's 3rd graders are learning about motion, forces, and speed in science. They combined their knowledge of these and their recent research on Olympic events to create skiers that will stay upright while accelerating downhill. They tested them out indoors going down a ramp and then took them outside to the snow. Ask a third grader how their skier did!
