Students completed a Hexbug Lego Challenge during library time at Greendale Elementary last week. The goal was to create a maze with a minimum of 3 turns. The maze had to be wide enough for the Hexbug to travel through but too wide so it could get turned around. The walls had to be tall enough to keep the Hexbug from crawling over. Student teams had the opportunity to test their Hexbug to correct any problems in their maze before sharing with other student groups.

WASHINGTON COUNTY DAY OF SERVICE. This Day of Service offers multiple community service projects across Washington County by our students. These effort will build leadership, citizenship and a sense of pride in our community. For more details see https://5il.co/24w04
Update: Packets of 5 raffle tickets were sent home today as part of the upcoming Fall Festival. The paper attached said there would be ten tickets in the packet. There was a delay in shipping the tickets so only 5 were put in each packet so we could go ahead and send them out. Thank you for supporting our school!
Be on the lookout for Fall Festival information that will be sent home today in Tuesday folders. There will be information about the raffle, costume contest, and classroom baskets and activities. We need parent volunteers for the festival. If you would like to volunteer, please notify your child's teacher.
Please be sure to return all fundraiser order forms and money as soon as possible. Thank you for all of your support in raising funds for our school.
