February Chapel

Chapel for the month of February was held this morning. The chapel message was given by Pastor David Wildermuth from Trinity Lutheran Church, Yankton. His message was about some "old bones" and he read from Ezekiel Chapter 37. Mrs. Frederick and Tommy (everyone thought it was Miss Brandt) put on a puppet play about being specially made by God.

See you on March 19th at 10:30 for our next chapel. Everyone is invited to attend.

Trinity Lutheran's website is...tlcyankton.org.

More Winter Night Out Photos

Winter Night Out

What an amazing evening it was for our first Winter Night Out fundraiser! The students did a fantastic job serving their guests and the parents were absolutely awesome in their supportive roles as kitchen and clean-up help. It was a wonderful evening full of great food, fellowship, and fun.

Sweet Hearts

Yes, the six K-1st graders are usually the sweet hearts we are talking about in Mrs. Frederick's room. Not today! In math the students got to count, graph, and eat candy sweet hearts as part of their hands-on activity. YUM!! They even shared with this blogger ~ thank you!!

Scrambled Eggs

The fourth graders of MVCA spent the afternoon carefully preparing a styrofoam cup for a couple of short trips through space. The cup's passenger for these trips was a delicate egg. The hope was that the egg would stay intact for all height trials. Packaging included paper towels, kleenex, newspaper, marshmallows, and plastic store sacks. Most of the eggs make it through the one and three foot drops, but some were scrambled at the five foot mark.
