Allendale CCSD #17

Today Mrs. Wilson and Mrs. Deisher’s classes tackled a Thanksgiving STEM challenge — designing a trap for the turkey! Using teamwork, creativity, and lots of laughter, students built clever traps and tested their ideas. We loved seeing their problem-solving skills shine!

Reminder!
Tuesday, November 25- 1:15 Dismissal

Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Mrs. Wilson and Mrs. Deisher’s classes teamed up today for an unforgettable Thanksgiving escape room, joining forces, solving clues, and showing off some seriously impressive teamwork! The room was filled with excitement as students collaborated across classes, shared ideas, and cheered each other on. And after cracking codes, uncovering hidden hints, and thinking outside the box, these are the teams who successfully escaped! 🦃🔐✨

The Allendale and St. Mary's 8th Grade Students attended the JA JobSpark in Evansville yesterday. JA JobSpark is a multi-day, hands-on career expo. The JA JobSpark initiative includes in-class curriculum and activities prior to and after attending the event. JA JobSpark is meant to “spark” an interest in students and get them excited for their future. Students learned about skills needed for jobs that will be in demand when they graduate and will learn about the equipment that is used on those jobs daily. Students will have a better understanding of the courses they will need to take in high school, a track for post-secondary and a clear career pathway for what they find they are interested in.
