Some books just stay with you forever… and Where the Red Fern Grows is definitely one of them. 🐾

A true classic that reminds us of the power of love, loyalty, and loss — and yes, it’s okay to cry over a book.

(But shhh… don’t tell them yet — they haven’t reached the sad part 😢)

What’s a classic that’s made you reach for the tissues? 💔

Our 5th grade students spent the day stepping back in time! They visited the Patee House Museum, Pony School, & Pony Express Museum to learn about our region’s history. Hands-on learning & exploring these historic sites helped bring classroom lessons to life.

Students participated in Outdoor Classroom Day, a global event that celebrates learning outside the traditional classroom. During the day, students explored nature by identifying different types of leaves, discovering examples of biotic (living) and abiotic (non-living) materials, and observing the world around them. They enjoyed hands-on learning, fresh air, and time to appreciate the environment while connecting what they’ve learned in science to the outdoors.

🏀 FOOD FIGHT RIVALRY UPDATE! 🥫
It’s a friendly competition… with a BIG community impact!

🌽 MWSU Griffons (CORN): 35
🟢 NWMSU Bearcats (GREEN BEANS): 22

The Griffons are just a few cans ahead… but there’s plenty of time left on the clock! ⏱️

Keep those green beans and corn coming in! Every can helps support Andrew County Ministries Food Pantry and makes a difference for families right here at home. ❤️

🎉 Perfect Attendance Celebration! 🎉

Principal. Holcumbrink treated these students to a sweet snack & juice yesterday morning before school.
Showing up every day matters — and these students are setting a wonderful example!

ACES High Flyers Alert!
Yesterday, we celebrated three students who truly soared with our character trait of the month — RESPONSIBILITY!
Being responsible at ACES means:
• Taking ownership of your actions
• Completing work on time and doing your best
• Being prepared and ready to learn
• Treating others and our school with care
• Doing the right thing… even when no one is watching
We are so proud of our High Flyers who consistently show these qualities in their classrooms and around our school every day. 🌟
