May is Mental Health Awareness Month—a time to recognize that mental health matters every day and that support is always available. We’re committed to fostering a community where students, staff, and families feel seen, supported, and heard. Together, we can continue building a community where it’s okay to not always be okay—and where no one has to go through it alone. 💚

7th graders had a job....to design and build a microscope. They had to problem solve how to create a microscope with two hand lenses, using the high and low power lens, and to make it easily adjustable. They did a fantastic job!

A few more pics of Mrs. Flaten's students enjoying the moments👍

More pics of Mrs. Flaten's crew at the Duluth Aquarium! So much fun!

Mrs. Flaten and team enjoyed a water wonderland at the Duluth Aquarium yesterday!🐟🐢🐠 Shout out to the Spartan Booster Club for helping make it happen! 🧡💙 Students had fun on the bus ride doing scavenger hunts, telling stories, and singing songs🎶🎵 At the aquarium they explored water machines, touched jelly fish and sturgeon and viewed fish, turtles, otters and eels in their natural habitats. The day was filled with learning and laughs! We highly recommend you visit😊
