Whoo-hoo wants to learn more about Owls, our amazing nocturnal feathered flyers? Make plans to attend Owl Night on Tuesday, November 12, 2024, at Kennekuk County Park's Education Center. University of Illinois students in a field-based course on Northern Saw-whet Owl Ecology will share information about the migration and behavior of owls in central Illinois through interactive indoor and outdoor activity stations, crafts, and more. Students will also showcase outdoor demonstrations of the tools used to capture and track owls at Kennekuk County Park. Drop in anytime from 5:30-8:30pm on November 12 to learn about owl life history, ecology, behavior, and what you can do to help conserve these unique animals. We may even get the chance to see some live owls up-close!
This free event is open to all ages with no preregistration needed.

Happy Halloween from 2nd Grade and their Pumpkin Book Report characters 🎃📚 Job well done, students!
The 4th, 5th, and 6th graders heard a presentation about energy efficiency from Ameren Illinois and Nicor Gas. Each student also received a bag filled with items to take home to help make saving energy easier.
Happy Monday! We are in search of gift cards to be donated to our Staff Shout-Out program. Similar to the students Caring Cardinal program, we like to recognize and reward staff members for going above and beyond. After compiling the nominations, we then select 1 winner to receive a gift card. *Any amounts are appreciated. They can even be as little as $5. Thank you in advance!
First grade had a wonderful time at the Potomac Public Library today!
WINNER WEDNESDAY- here's our weeks caring cardinal card winners! They've been working hard and we are so proud of them.
2nd grade always excited to play instruments!
Pre-k finished up their apple study. We did so many activities with apples. We measured the size of the apple with links and cubes, then we compared. We discussed characteristics of the inside and outside of the apple and then counted the seeds. We tasted apple cider, and picked what color apple they liked the best. Lastly we made applesauce together. While we were peeling the apples they noticed how long the peel was and we compared students height with it. At the end of the day we tasted the applesauce! Also pictured are our findings, favorites graph, and the apple art.
