4th grade students attended the Sioux Empire Water Festival at the University of Sioux Falls. The goal of the festival is to increase awareness of the many uses of water and to preserve its quality for future generations.




Last week in 201 they wrapped up their Social Studies unit on the Civil War! They learned about many important events and people that had a part, including Clara Barton the founder of the American Red Cross! Similar to some of the lifesaving acts Barton did during the war, 201 got to learn a bit about CPR and practice using their classroom stuffies!
