The art classes have been busy! Kindergarten/1st and 2nd Graders just finished their focal point cats! 3rd and 4th Graders made amazing bubbles with paint and oil pastels. The 5th graders explored printing making, making positive and negative prints. The 6th and 7th graders learned how to carve their own stamps to print with. The high school class made their own stamps and made radial prints with them. They have all done a wonderful job!

Jumpstart Day 3 was Weather Safety Day! Our friends Angela and Brandon from the National Weather Service in Cheyenne came to show us some fun things about the weather. Paul Acosta of Big Dawg Northeastern Colorado Storm Chasers also joined us.
In July the Varsity level Clay Target Team travelled to the National Competition for the first time. The national level of competition is extraordinary! The trap range able to handle such a large event is in Mason, MI which is just South of Lansing. It was 2 long days of travel in the school van each way with the five boys and two coaches' equipment, supplies, and clothes for the week. The team took in some sights along the way and lots of local cuisine during their stay, but for the several days of the shoot it was all business, breaking as many of the 500 targets as they could. Our team was the only registered team to represent Colorado although there were some other athletes from our state who competed in the individual part of the competition. Our team represented Pawnee well. Although we did not place in the top ten teams, the competition was so intense that only 44 broken targets separated our score from first place. What a great experience for our students!
Day 1 of Jumpstart 2024 is in the books! Kids had a great time learning about fire and electrical safety today.
