Our 4th graders had an amazing adventure today at the Humane Society! This real-world experience tied perfectly to their Wit & Wisdom lessons inspired by the book Love That Dog. After meeting some furry friends and learning how we can help animals in our community, they enjoyed a picnic lunch at the park.

A big thank you to SPIRIT and our families for your generous donations to the Humane Society. You made this special day possible!

Halverson’s 4th graders didn’t just do the math today—they chalked it up to creativity! ✏️✨ With sidewalks as their paper and chalk as their pencils, they took area models outdoors, proving that learning can be colorful, hands-on, and full of joy.
