In STEAM and Library, our students are exploring the four components of creativity: Fluency, Flexibility, Originality, and Elaboration through Finish the Picture activities with Mrs. Meyers and Ms. Lehenbauer.

🧡🖤 Our 3rd Grade Wax Museum Was a Hit! 🧡🖤

Our 3rd graders brought history to life during their Famous Missourians Wax Museum Open House — and what an incredible showcase it was!

Students researched influential Missourians, created props and costumes, and stepped into character to share what they have learned with families, staff, and classmates. From athletes and artists to explorers, inventors, and leaders, our gym was filled with Missouri history brought to life in the most creative way.

We are so proud of their hard work, confidence, and excitement for learning. 💫

Thank you to our families for coming out to support our students and celebrate their amazing projects!

Great job, 3rd graders! 👏📚✨
