- Buy a new toothbrush every three months.
- Schedule twice-yearly dental appointments with your dentist.

Redgranite Elementary students weren't the only wild animals at school a few Fridays ago. MToxins came to visit our students and brought along some slow, slithery, and some (mostly teachers) may say scary, friends. Students and staff learned a lot, and gained new appreciation for these animals. Grades 3-5 also got to see a venom extraction happen right before their eyes!

Third graders at Redgranite have been busy learning about motion. Students have been conducting investigations using tops, twirlybirds and carts. During the investigations, students took part in the engineering process. They were presented with a problem and given time to find and build a solution. The students have learned a lot about what causes things to move and have learned about how changing one variable will affect the motion of an object.
This past Monday, Lucy Winn from Pennsylvania visited third graders at Redgranite Elementary School. Lucy is the 2022 American Honey Queen. She is traveling across the country promoting honey and beekeeping. You can follow her journey at buzzingacrossamerica.com. Redgranite students were 'buzzing' with excitement that Lucy decided to make a stop at their school.
Congratulations to Redgranite's January - Student of the Month!
This student is a great role model. During the month of January, Redgranite Elementary School was celebrating the character trait determination. This student is always striving to do her best, even if it isn’t always easy. She always turns in quality work. In the classroom, she is quick to grab out the needed materials and get right to work. Before school, she comes in the morning and gets started on her role in the classroom each day. This student strives for success each day shown by her determination. This student also possesses the previous character traits this year as well. She shows respect by always being quick to show 5 and always listens to directions, she shows that she is responsible by staying on task and following expectations, and she is empathetic as she is always quick to help others when they need it. Seeing February's character trait of leadership, I see this student continuing to exceed my expectations and being the great leader I know she is. It is with great pleasure that I nominate Leah Sullivan for Redgranite’s Student of the Month.

Parkside 6th Graders worked on their clay "totem spoons" during Miss Rich's class earlier today. The project allowed the students to share things about themselves by making small clay representations of those things and attaching them to their spoons.
Dexter Schumacher and Riley Bowey participated in the Regional Spelling Bee in Wild Rose today. They did very well. Riley made it to the 4th round, and Dexter finished in 3rd place. Parkside is very proud of them both!
