Here's a quick shout out from our Food Services Director:
"On Friday, Firefighters from Norwood Young America and Cologne served lunch at the elementary school. A huge thank you to Brian Vos, Jonathan Wulf, Jamie Schrupp, Joey Molnau and Damon Klein for taking time out of their busy day to do this. A shout out to Joey for working all three days! We really appreciate it!"
We love seeing this kind of community connection and we know how much it means to our staff and students. Thank you!

During the first few days of school, Mrs. Raduenz's art classes took on a unique team-building challenge: creating large-scale origami paper cranes. Working together in small groups, students practiced collaboration, problem-solving, and creativity as they brought these oversized cranes to life.
The final works will be displayed hanging from the ceilings in both the art room and the library, creating a colorful installation for all to enjoy. A great way to start the year with creativity and connection!
