Earlier this year, SRO Schlosser visited Mrs. Yeager's 3rd-grade class and explained how local government works. The students enjoyed learning about the branches of government from him. Thanks, Officer Steve! 👮♀️
Mr. Waidelich’s 7th period STEAM class teamed up with Mrs. Lammers and the new-to-us collection of Legos. The students first helped sort thousands of pieces into color coded bins, and then partnered up to create their own designs. Each duo brainstormed and created unique projects, then produced direction booklets from scratch so that our elementary Blackbirds can build these creations when they visit the Library. Great job, Blackbirds! 🧱
