Jim Christensen visited Ida Grove third grade to share about his experiences with NASA and space. He has even met the crew from Apollo 11! We loved having him here again and the students learned many more great things about space.

Dennis Laughlin, from Battle Creek, visited Ms. Sohm's 2nd grade classroom as part of their Unit "What Life Was Like on the Plains". He brought many artifacts including a bison skull, bones, pottery and tools made by the Native Americans along with animal hides that he has collected over the years. Dennis and his wife, Barbara, also brought a piece of pottery, for each of the students, that Dennis collected while exploring in the Ohio River Valley area of West Virginia.

Today, Mrs. Grote’s English Language Learners learned about the meaning and importance of Veterans Day. They also explored the different branches of military service. To show their appreciation, they wrote heartfelt thank-you letters to one of Mrs. Grote's former students, Scottie Neubauer, who is currently deployed.

A sincere thank-you to all who have served and continue to serve our country! ❤️🤍💙
Happy Veterans Day to all! 🇺🇸
