Hot days ahead! Due to the extreme heat we are experiencing, over the course of this week, we will be eating lunch and having lunch recess indoors. All after school activities will also be held indoors. This will continue for the remainder of the week, or until it cools down. Morning recess will still be held outside. Remind your kids to keep hydrated.

We are continuing with our Wednesday weekly PCR testing. If you have not yet signed up your child, please do so through the portal or pick up a hard copy and fill it out in the office. Covid cases are still showing up, and we are doing our best to make sure everyone stays as healthy as possible while on campus.

5th Grade "Quick Write" As I walk in the Ukrainian meadows with my dog Posey we see beautiful blue and yellow flowers dancing in the wind, for this is Ukraine. All of the Ukrainian people were freed, it was a joyous time. Everyone crowded around me and Posey, and we sat down and listened to peace. The birds sang for peace, the crikets chirped for peace, and the chipmunks skweaked for peace. After, everyone in the meadows ran down to their city and danced, for the Russians were gone, the war was gone, the war was dead. by Maddie

Over the past couple of years, Wildflower's Eco Club has prepped, planted and cared for a Monarch recovery garden. Milkweed, essential to the Monarch butterfly, is currently dormant waiting for spring to show itself, and eventually bloom to attract them in the warm summer months. Heather, one of our eco club volunteers, put together this educational video with a couple of Wildflower students which features the story of Monarchs and the Wildflower Monarch Recovery Garden. https://youtu.be/x59o2H3Pfeg

Thank you Odyssey Teams for assisting Wildflower in a school-wide virtual mosaic mural project. Each student and staff member had a square to replicate from the original image to create a unique abstract mosaic for everyone to enjoy! The original picture was created by Bonnie Parkin, local artist, art teacher, and founding member of Wildflower Open Classroom. The watercolor was one of our original logos for the school. Thanks again Odyssey Team members, Allison and Jonas for setting this up. And a special thank you to our devoted staff and talented students for creating this amazing piece of art!
