Hope you're having a safe snow day, FJA! Thanks to Kachina Peaks Avalanche Center for coming out recently and educating our 6th graders on backcountry safety. Slopes, angles, beacons, and more, our students loved this experience--especially locating and "rescuing" that which Mr. Cola had buried in the snow!
Celebrating the 100th Day of School is a longstanding elementary-school tradition. Our Cedar Campus students honored the milestone by participating in 100-Legos building challenges, 100-item trail mixes, and more. Some even celebrated the 101th Day of School with face paint a la 101 Dalmatians! Thanks to our teaching staff for their creativity, to our families for contributing supplies, and to our students for playing along and dressing up!
