Congratulations to the Elementary Quiz Bowl on a FANTASTIC season! Today, they participated in their final quiz bowl of the season. 14 teams were in attendance. Although we may not have come home with a trophy today, our only two losses were to 1st and 2nd place. The team battled hard and took both opposing teams to the final question. This team represented Eustis-Farnam incredibly well!
Want to be good at quiz bowl? Read books, both fiction and nonfiction, go to museums, study a map, watch PBS and the History Channel, watch the news, and talk to the adults in your life about their experiences because quiz bowl is REALLY FUN!
Quarter 3 CHARGE Students and Mentors were recognized this morning! A big thank you to these kids for being examples of responsibility!
We celebrated with some fun and donuts!

Kindergarten took their social-emotional lesson with Mrs. Koch outside today to learn about sadness and how crying helps us release sad energy- so it's okay to cry! Nothing to cry about on a beautiful, sunny spring day ☀️
Maddie and Whitney were two of 15 students in the area who were able to attend Dawson Public Power District's STEM Camp today!
Students explored a diverse array of STEM fields, engaged in fun and challenging activities, and were able to discover potential career paths that they might not have considered otherwise.
