On Monday, March 22, 2021, we ask your children to join us in celebrating World Down Syndrome Day. The day is actually celebrated on Sunday, March 21 (always on 3-21 for 3 copies of the 21st chromosome....). On that day, we celebrate our uniqueness and our differences that make us all wonderful individuals. We will honor the day by "Rocking our Socks". Kids can wear colorful, mismatched, or their favorite socks that day.
The snow fun continues for one more day......
More fun in the snow at recess.......
Kids LOVE snow and kids LOVE recess. This snow was perfect for a snowman!

Reece Burket, Oakley DuFrain, and Briggs Veurink spoke on behalf of the second-grade class at the Geddes City Council meeting on Monday, March 8th. Their class would like to add a park bench, life size jenga game, and a fire pit to the Geddes Park. All of the projects were researched and voted on in their PBL (Problem-Based Learning) classroom. Problem-Based Learning is a classroom, designed around Social Studies and Science standards, that looks for problems in the community and incorporates a project around that problem. This class knows that Geddes is short on city workers and a small community of helpers, so they approach the city council yearly with their project and help. They are funded, through Modern Woodman, to pay for some of the materials they need to spruce up the park and materials for their new project. The second-graders will go to Geddes early May, along with some of their parents, to bring the park alive. Mrs. DuFrain and Mrs. Frandsen believe it is a great experience to show how to help others, learn about local government, and many other standards along the way.
