Book Report Leader!

At the beginning of the school year,  Dina set a goal for herself to read 10 books each quarter. She decided on this goal because when she meets her goal, she will beat the current book report record holders, Timmy and Jommel. She met her first quarter goal and is on her way to being our new record holder! Way to go, Dina!

Parade Time!

The NCA parade celebrating Lafayette turning 100 years old is Saturday, October 14 at 10:00am. We would love to have your family walking with the Lindbergh float! If you cannot walk, please come enjoy the parade. It will begin at Taco Bandito and end at Krug Park.

Happy 100th Birthday Lafayette!

Inquiry Time!

Students tested the speed and velocity of a rubber ball. They made a prediction about which ramp height would result in the fastest speed, recorded their data for multiple trials of different ramp heights, sketched their inquiry, and reflected on their results.
