💙 Every Body Moves, Plays, and Belongs! 💙
Mrs. Deininger’s 4th grade class recently had an exciting opportunity to learn about prostheses and orthoses and how to support people who use them!
Students discovered how orthoses support existing limbs, while prostheses help people with limb loss or limb differences move and participate in everyday activities. They explored how prostheses are made, learned about their different functions, and got to see examples up close.
And their questions were fantastic! 🙌 Did you know the largest prosthetic our guest ever made was a leg for a man who was 7 feet, 4 inches tall? Students also learned about the most expensive prosthetic she ever made, which cost an incredible $150,000!
Through thoughtful questions and meaningful conversations, the class shared an important message: Even though we may move differently, movement and play are important to EVERY body!
This lesson also had a special connection to our classroom community, helping students better understand how prostheses can make a difference in someone's everyday life. Students brainstormed ways to advocate for and actively include friends who use prostheses and orthoses.

📚✨ Learning, practicing, and earning rewards! ✨📚
Mrs. Murray’s first graders are hard at work! Students were challenged to put their letters in ABC order in less than two minutes—and they did an amazing job! 🔤⏱️
They’re also practicing writing their new sight words, including “the” and “is,” while building those important early literacy skills. ✏️📖
And after all that hard work? A well-deserved visit to the sensory room as a reward! 🎉
We love seeing our Blazers learn, practice, challenge themselves, and celebrate their progress! 💙🤍

🔥🚒 Learning About Fire Safety! 🚒🔥
Our third graders had an important—and fun—lesson in fire safety this week! A big thank-you to our friends at Monarch and Amity Fire Companies for visiting and teaching our students about smoke detectors, fire equipment, and what to do in the event of a fire.
The students also learned that firefighters may look a little different when they’re dressed in all their protective gear! Mrs. Myers showed them that a firefighter’s uniform doesn’t have to be scary… and paraprofessional Mrs. Morris even joined in, striking a pose with her best ✌️ peace signs!
Thank you to our local firefighters for helping our students learn how to Stay Safe, Stay Aware, and Stay Prepared! ❤️🚒
