Our HHS HOSA students have arrived in Dallas for the opening session of the 2023 International HOSA convention.
On the way, we stopped in Oklahoma City to see the Oklahoma City Bombing Memorial and Museum. Our students learned about the day, the connection to our hometown, and stories of survivors. We took pictures outside in front of the “Survivor Tree” as well as signed the guestbook.
Competitive events begin tomorrow with our Health Education Team competing tomorrow in the early afternoon. Good luck to Aidan, Mallory, and Maggie!!!

Second graders enjoy helping clean off their desks with shaving cream on the last day of school. #GameOnRailers
This winter Mrs. Stilwell, school counselor, read the book Scribble Stones to
students in K-5. The story starts off with a happy little stone who dreams of being
something amazing, but ends up being just a dull paperweight. On his journey, he
meets Scribble and Splatter, who desperately need his help when they run out of
paper. With teamwork and creativity they created the Scribble Stone Art Project.
This was a super fun project for our students. Our lesson was about working
together to spread happiness by painting on rocks. First, the K-2 students painted
their artwork on a stone. Next, the 3-5 students built upon the initial artwork and
added their own touch of creativity to the rock. Then for an Earth Day activity, the
Fourth graders pulled weeds and prepared the area to lay the newly painted
rocks. Lastly the rocks were placed, carefully preserving the rocks painted several
years ago by the KRR students led by Cindy Roberts.
Please stop by and take a look at the beautifully creative rocks our elementary
students painted. It’s a bright attraction at the front of our school. #GameOnRailers
