This week, Lakeview students were busy exploring and creating! 🤖 They coded robots, built bridges and towers, and dove into exciting new books during ELA. 📚✨ It’s amazing to see their curiosity and creativity in action! #CanDoKid





Sibley had a wonderful time hosting our "Donuts with Grown-Ups" event this morning! We were thrilled with the fantastic turnout and truly enjoyed seeing so many families and friends come together.



Thank you to those who supported and celebrated our students today during the fancy lunch! A blast was had by all!








Sibley is wishing Lee a joyful and fulfilling retirement. You will be greatly missed! Thank you for all you have done for us at Sibley.

WOW! Lakeview, you showed incredible generosity during our food drive! Together, we collected 1,281 food items to support our community. ❤️
A huge thanks to our Student Council for leading this effort and to everyone who contributed.
This is what being a #CanDoKid is all about!
Last week Southwest 6th grade students had their own rendezvous! Blue Team represented the Ojibwe and Red Team represented the French. They came together to exchange manufactured goods for pelts and see who came away with more profit (French goal) or ability to survive with ease (Ojibwe goal).
Shoutout to Ms. Rothstein’s class at Lakeview! They’ve been working hard to explore fractions and equivalent fractions. I’m so proud of their effort and determination as they dive into a new unit. #CanDoKids!
