Peek at Our Week

1-20-2026

We had a great time on our Contraction Surgery Day! I'm sure there are some doctors in our future. ) Check out the pictures from the day!

Valentine's Day Party: Info coming soon, but it will be in the afternoon on Friday, Feb.13th. Now that we're in 2nd grade, try to have your child write all their classmates' names on their valentines. Here is a digital link. Other optional names your child may want to include:

Ms. Bartyzal, Mr. Engebretson, Mr. Bastyr, Ms. Kreck, Ms. Giles, Ms. Johnson

Yesterday afternoon I was able to pick up my son, Adam, from the airport. He's in the Air Force and has been stationed in the UK. It's been 7 months since I've seen him. He is now going to be living in Appleton, WI completing a skillbridge program with Gulfstream Aerospace Jets and needs to move in by this weekend. I'm going to be gone tomorrow - Friday to spend time with him and help him move. I have missed him SO much. Ms. Way is going to be my sub. She was Ms. Kniefel's (2nd grade) student teacher this fall. I will have access to my email, so feel free to reach out, if needed.
