🧮 Math in Action!
Students in Mrs. Stimmel’s class had fun using our new Bridges math curriculum! They played a game called “Quick Look,” where one partner flashed their number rack and the other had to quickly figure out how many beads were moved.
This engaging activity helps students build number sense and strengthen their math fluency—all while having fun!

When a Cubs fan makes a bet with a Brewers fan… this happens! 😆
Our Elementary Principal, Mr. Sbertoli, lost a friendly wager to Superintendent Brakke after the Cubs fell to the Brewers—so he had to show his true colors for the day. Maybe there’s still hope to bring him over to the good side! 💙💛⚾
