Kindergarten students in Ms. Jenny’s class at Trailside Elementary successfully completed an integrated literacy and engineering project this week, building durable, "wolf-proof" houses for characters from the classic story, The Three Little Pigs. The hands-on activity reinforced lessons from the CKLA Knowledge Unit on stories and emphasized the value of teamwork and structural design.

Huge applause for Wilson Middle School 7th grader, Lily Sebastian!
Lily is getting ready to be a Hawkeye Kid Captain tomorrow, and today she got a superstar welcome at school! She was escorted through the halls by two Iowa Hawkeye offensive linemen and the energy of the Jefferson High School Drumline, while her classmates cheered her on. It was an amazing day celebrating Lily with some major Hawkeye and Wilson pride!

Today we’re celebrating Mrs. Brown! 💐
One student shared:
“Mrs. Brown helped me a lot when I was new to this school. I was usually quiet in all my other classes, but I felt most comfortable in hers. She was really sweet and always checked on us, making sure everyone was involved and happy. She helped us build friendships through fun projects, and I felt really close with her—she’s absolutely the best of the best! Her class was so interesting that I was eager to come every day. She made reading new books and writing essays fun, not just because of her skills, but because of the relationships she built with us.”*
Thank you, Mrs. Brown, for creating a welcoming classroom and inspiring a love of learning! 📚✨ #StaffSpotlight #CRCSDFamily #ThankATeacher
