Our kindergarten students celebrated the 100th day of school with a fashion show! We loved seeing the creativity each student displayed in creating their own personalized shirt!
Last week we celebrated our student successes with special rewards! Our Washington Cool Cardinals winners from Sept.-Nov. and our Great Kindness Challenge winners got to enjoy an extra recess with friends :)
The 100th-day celebration of our Love for Learning wouldn't be complete without family collaboration and providing our students the opportunity to share and reflect on their most memorable learning experience thus far! #JustFocusonGrowing #oneproudprincipal

There's a little extra "LOVE FOR LEARNING" around JFG today as we celebrate Valentine's Day and our 100th DAY OF SCHOOL! #JustFocusonGrowing

What a treat to visit our 3rd grade writing celebration today! Students shared their "expert" books with peers and provided positive feedback to on another. Awesome collaboration and community building!
A beautiful day to be enjoying the sunshine! Research says that fresh air and movement help our brains to function better, and therefore learn more. So fun catching up with our amazing students! @WashCardinals

Students in Mrs. Maul's and Mr. Krebs' Physics class are wrapping up their culminating project for their momentum unit by testing the crashworthiness of their paper cars. . They were tasked with following the Engineering Design Process to research vehicle safety features and then design and construct a car entirely out of 2 pieces of paper, tape, 1 wooden skewer, and 1 straw. Their design needed to fit certain size specifications, include at least 3 vehicle safety features, travel quickly down an inclined track, and protect its occupant (a plastic egg) from ejection, fracture, or significant harm when it collided with a brick wall.
