We had a great day for the Elementary Track and Field Day!

Sixth graders learned earlier in the year that one of the things King City is best known for is the Big Pump and they had a lot of questions about it. Susan Lewis arranged a visit and shared her knowledge of the history with the kids. She was also subbing for 5th grade today, so they got to tag along and learn with us. Sheila Johnson shared her memories of going to the Big Pump when it was a working gas station in Maryville, Mo.

2nd grade had a blast at Science City for their field trip! It was a fun and exhausting day filled with learning and adventures. The kids and parents all represented our school and community well. It was a great ending to a fantastic year!

🌊🦈🎢 3rd Grade Adventure Day in KC! Today, our amazing group of young explorers took a deep dive into the wonders of the ocean at SeaLife Kansas City and then built unforgettable memories at LEGOLAND Discovery Center! From getting up close with mesmerizing sea creatures to building epic LEGO creations, every moment was a perfect blend of learning and laughter. Watching the kids’ faces light up as they touched starfish and constructed their own masterpieces was a beautiful reminder of the power of curiosity and creativity. A big thank you to KC R-1, chaperones, and our awesome students for making this trip one for the books! 💙 #LearningBeyondTheClassroom #FieldTripFun #MakingMemories

6th grade had a great day at BRKTHROUGH!
