Real-World Learning in Action!
On Wednesday, our 5th and 6th graders took a trip to Rural AmeriTowne, where they got hands-on experience running their own town!
Students practiced real-life skills like earning a paycheck, budgeting, spending and saving money, and even running their own government. They elected a Mayor, appointed Police Officers, and kept their town running smoothly!
From serving snacks in the Snack Shop and fixing cars in the Parts & Service Shop, to building birdhouses in the Container Shop and managing energy in the Energy Resources Shop, our students did it all — we even had a few volunteer firefighters!
They also collaborated with students from another school, making new friends while buying and selling goods and services across town.
It was an amazing day full of fun, learning, and teamwork — and our students walked away with skills they’ll use for years to come! Thank you to our wonderful teachers, staff and community that assisted with this project!

Mrs. Chouinard’s Spanish I students put their knowledge of days and months into action by creating beautiful, personalized calendars! They didn’t just keep them for themselves—students proudly handed their calendars out to staff members, spreading joy and celebrating their learning.
We’re so proud of these creative students for practicing their Spanish skills in such a fun and meaningful way!

We’re seeing more and more evidence of the negative effects that social media and smartphones are having on our youth. This news story is well worth watching—for students, educators, parents, grandparents, and all community members. The research is compelling, and it’s clear we must take action to support and protect the well-being of our future generations.
