This past fall Mrs. Carr and Mrs. Brown's kindergarten classes decided to watch the life cycle of a pumpkin, first hand. Once Halloween was finished they allowed and watched the process of decomposition and this spring watched as new pumpkin sprouts emerged from the compost. Here are some pictures of the classes planting their new sprouts. Looking forward to what grows in the fall in the life cycle of a 2022 Halloween pumpkin.
Kaw Valley USD 321 wants to wish all of our amazing staff Happy Teacher Appreciation Week. Thank you for making a difference every single day!
The St Marys Grade and JrSr high schools will be dismissing at 3:00 today. Buses will pick students up from school and run routes accordingly. Be safe!
You might notice something new in the SMGS entryway. It's a Bear's Book Den for our students to take/leave/or just borrow a book to read. This great idea was brought to reality by Lily Singhdhillon, a senior at St. Marys High School. Lily is a member of NHS and 4-H and in order to stay in good standing with these notable organizations, they encourage students to complete a project that will serve their community. Fortunately for SMGS, Lily chose our school and students as the recipient of her community service. Thank you Lily Singhdhillon! Your contribution will provide a space for students to feel a sense of community by utilizing a service that promotes both giving and receiving.
