5th Graders created Aztec "artifacts" and learned about how an economy works by buying, selling, and trading their artifacts. Thank you, Ms. Elston for always making our classes fun and engaging for our students. 

Fourth grade students have been working hard creating and preparing for the annual Opera. They have come up with a company name, theme, and have already written the script. Students are now working hard composing the music and designing costumes. These are some fun pictures of the job fair where they had a chance to try out all the different crews. We hope you will join us for the final performance in December! 

Wow! We had a terrific turnout at the River Center today for the annual EBR Magnet Mania event. So many families stopped by our table for information related to our program.

Here are just a few of the student Good Deeds we've gotten so far this year:

• Jacelynn C is constantly ensuring that everyone around has what they need to be successful in the classroom!
• Layla S and Moriah B jumped in to help clean up another student's cereal spill without disrupting the rest of the class!
• Mackenzie F helped a student walk through the breezeway when it was raining, and the student was scared. Very kind!
• Jonathan C helped plug in all of my computers and fixed my ActivBoard screen without being asked!
• Raelyn K encouraged a class member when they were struggling with a question.
• Quinn F is a new student to BRCVPA, but he looks out for all the students in his group to be sure they are comfortable and have what they need to work. Accolades to Quinn!
• Jonah B makes sure all of the chromebooks are plugged in daily. Big help!
• Harper H is always willing to pick up trash in the cafeteria. Most of the time, it is not her trash, and she does it without being asked.
