As the 2nd graders wrapped up their reading unit about pollinators, we had some special guests come to the classroom. Thank you to the Hartman family for taking time to bring in some of their honeybees to show the class. The plexiglass hive allowed students to see all sorts of activity. We spotted the queen laying eggs, a bee hatching, several drone cells, and a queen cell forming.

The week of April 15th, Ainsley McConnell took a count of how many people drove to school using their seatbelts, with Audrey Holm's help. Here are the results: 33 cars were surveyed, the occupants in 22 cars were wearing their seatbelts and the remaining cars were not. For the individuals in the cars a total of 50 people were surveyed with 31 of them wearing their seatbelts. This week during our morning announcements we are learning more about seatbelt safety. Thank you Ainsley for raising our awareness regarding seatbelt use.
Paxton Student Council teamed up with city officials for a vibrant community service project! Council members spent the day reviving the local park and swimming pool with a fresh coat of paint! Paxton is a beloved community, and the student council members were eager to give back! ☺️ #PaxtonProud

Great effort by all of our Science Olympians this weekend at the State Competition. Due to the weather, awards did not take place in Lincoln. There is an online awards ceremony scheduled for Tuesday evening at 5:00mt. We will be having a team watch party in the commons, family and friends are welcome to attend and celebrate with us.
Check out these awesome things!

The 5th graders had a great field trip to Water Riches Day! We leaned a lot about the geology and water resources in Nebraska.
The High school FACS took us around the world. Students researched a country of their choice and brought some recipes to sample. Natalie and Colin researched Brazil and brought chocolate brigadeiro. Halle and Mackenzie talked about Jamaica and brought red beans and rice along with grape nut ice cream. Thomas and Tyler had a presentation about China and brought Chinese cucumber salad and fortune cookies. Chase and Gauge researched Mexico and made Mexican cookies. Alexis and Haleigh shared France and their own crème brûlée along with a potato dish. Matthew brought ramen for Japan. We also enjoyed nachos and a frozen fruit drink from Costa Rica from Anthony and Quinten and Irish chocolate brownies from Angel and Eden.
The JH FACS class have been busy learning how to sew. They each made a pillow this week. Thank you to Austin for making a new pillow for Baxter!
The Paxton Tiger team competed today at the RPAC Conference golf meet in Cambridge. Congratulations to Ethan for placing 11th! Go Tigers!
