Students learned about prehistoric Wyoming and Ice age Wyoming. They learned that early tribes used atl atls to be able to throw their darts far and fast. 4th graders tried these weapons to hit a target on our playground. Mr. Laing was our guest teacher to guide our young warriors to success! Hands on learning is the best learning! #livyrocks

Here are the Character Trait of the Month winners! This month’s character trait was friendship. These are students who show concern for others by quietly setting a good example. They seek to include others and help all feel welcome. They stand up for what is right, whether it is popular with their peers or not. They are able to let go of frustration and hurt, and forgive those around them. We are so very proud of these students. They make our school a wonderful place to be! #livyrocks
