Ms. Frendahl‘s kindergarten class paired up with Ms. Creswell’s 6th grade class to observe how a chemical change takes place. Then they went inside the science lab where they each got to create their very own lava lamp using water, oil, and Alka-Seltzer tablet, and some glitter. The 6th graders did an excellent job of helping the kindergartners!

Paterson fifth graders got carried away using a stream table to model erosion. They explored how water moves sediment, reshapes beaches, and carves out rivers and canyons in Earth's surface. Science Rocks! 💛🌎💙

We’re so excited to share that our After-School Lacrosse Club is back for its 8th year! Over the past few weeks in PE, students have been learning “soft” lacrosse — a fun and safe version of the game that doesn’t require extra protective gear. Now they’ll have the chance to keep playing after school with FIHS coach and members of the girls & boys lacrosse teams right here on campus. We’re so lucky to have their support and expertise!
Program Details:
● Who: Kindergarten–6th grade students
● Dates: Wednesdays: Nov. 19, Dec. 3, and Dec. 10 (Make-up date if needed due to weather: Dec. 17)
● Time: 2:45–3:30 p.m. (pickup by 3:50 p.m. in North Parent Pick Up)
● Cost: $2.00, Cash ONLY (to cover field paint and supplies)
● Sign-Up Deadline: Monday, Nov. 17, 2025
● Spots Available: 50–60 students — spaces fill fast!
Students are expected to show great sportsmanship and behavior during Lacrosse Club. If any issues arise, a student from the waiting list may take their place. We can’t wait to see your child out on the field learning, growing, and having fun with this awesome sport!

Huge high-fives to the amazing students from Clay High School Academy of Medical Science! They teamed up with Nurse Melzak and Ms. Kern to give our Kindergarten, First, Third, and Sixth graders a health check-up. Their blend of pro skills and big-heartedness made it all happen!
