Science/Art/Music Fair

Today is the school's science/art/music fair and Pioche 1st and 2nd graders are ready to share. In addition to singing a couple of songs, we tested the power of wind with our balloon-powered cars, created name art, formed beautiful magazine butterflies, and designed CD spinners.

Chicago Pizza!

Have you ever tried Chicago-style pizza? Pioche 1st and 2nd graders have and they like it! When Kobe's Flat Stanley visited his Uncle Ed, Flat Stanley got to try Chicago-style pizza. Uncle Ed thought that 1st and 2nd graders should get to try this yummy pizza, too. So he sent us three pizzas all the way from Chicago: one cheese, one pepperoni, and one spinach. Thanks Uncle Ed! Thanks, also, to Mrs. Diane Kelley (Kobe's grandma) and Mrs. Boyce (Hagen's mom and our wonderful school secretary) for helping us! It was a special treat to eat Chicago-style pizzas!

How's the spinach pizza, Mrs. Jane? (She loved it!)

Spinach pizza makes Ms. Huntsman and Mrs. Boyce strong!
