Our 4th graders recently wrapped up their Social Studies Economics unit with a fun and engaging Market Day project! Students created their own “stores,” wrote persuasive advertisements, and designed unique products using only paper, tape, glue, and markers. On Market Day, they opened their shops and sold their products to eager customers. It was a fantastic hands-on experience that brought economics to life while building creativity, teamwork, and communication skills! Way to go fourth grade!

Our younger students came dressed as 100-year-olds, and they absolutely understood the assignment 👵👴 From gray hair and glasses to walkers and cardigans, the creativity was incredible and gave us all a good laugh.

Meanwhile, our fifth graders marked their 1,000th day of school, a huge accomplishment that shows just how much they’ve learned and grown over the years. We are so proud of the leaders they’re becoming!

Days like today remind us that learning should be full of joy, celebration, and a little bit of fun along the way. We are lucky to spend these milestone moments with our amazing Bearcats! ❤️

Take a look at some of our adorable “100-year-olds” and our awesome 1,000-day fifth graders below!
