What an awesome experience!! Hendry Park Student Council members at the courthouse construction site. Each student signed the beam, got autographs from some pretty important people, lead the Pledge of Allegiance and signaled to the crane operater to "Go".
To start off spring both 4th grade classes constructed their own Peep Houses. They were able to use materials they were given to make their desired Peep Houses!

Thank you Trine Men's Basketball for helping us with our PEP March Madness Activity! This month's PEP activity focused on "being prepared." Grade level classrooms were in competition and each student could earn their "Team" points by showing up to school and being prepared by having their chromebook charged and ready for work! Our champion classroom winners are:
Mrs. Sholl (KDG), Mrs. Dawson (1st), Mrs. Baird (2nd), Mrs. Perschke (3rd), Mrs. Smith (4th), and even with overtime, Mrs. Burlingame and Mrs. Steffel class were winner's! Great job everyone! Be present. Be excited. Be positive.
Hendry Park Girls on the run, raised money to buy the team much needed supplies! Way to go girls!
On Thursday, March 23rd, the Hendry Park PTO hosted the Read-a-thon celebration! Overall, our school raised over $5,000. Weston Martin was the top fundraiser with $355 and Addison Hartman was the runner-up with $335 raised. Hunter Holiday was our top reader with 910 minutes read and his brother, Lane Hoilday, was in second place with 840 minutes read. Those top readers and fundraisers each were rewarded with getting to throw a pie at Miss Wilkinson and Ms. Sparks! The top five fundraisers for each class got to help duct tape Mrs. Brandt to the wall! Many students said that this was the best day ever! Finally, on Friday, March 24th, the top fundraising class for each grade-level celebrated with a cupcake party! Thank you to all staff, students, and families who participated! The Read-a-thon is the PTO’s biggest fundraiser each year and allows the Hendry Park students to participate in fun activities throughout the year. We are already excited for next year!

Mrs. Gruners class is working with captain cash from Purdue university extensions to discuss how many is earned, different job opportunities, and the education needed for various jobs.
Spring is almost here! As nature is waking back up, students’ natural curiosity rises with it. To fight questions with knowledge, we must explore the world around us, even to the smallest detail: a tiny seed. As a flower farmer and a teacher, I had the opportunity to speak to the 1st grade students about this natural phenomenon. We explored what it takes for a plant to grow and thrive. The students were quick to make the connection between our needs as humans and the needs of plants. We share many similarities among our differences. To see this in action, I shared evidence of plants that I am growing even now in preparation for this summer’s growing season. We saw how a tiny seed in the right conditions can grow to become beautiful flowers, increasing the seed count hundredfold for the next generation of plants. To round it all out, the students embraced the concept of germinating seeds by becoming seeds themselves. The students began as dry seeds, wanting for the nourishment of water, nutrients, and sunlight. Then the little seeds began their growth journey. Their roots extended into the ground in the form of wiggling toes and feet. The seeds emerged from the soil on two legs, and leaves shot up to the sky with open palms. With germination complete, our plants danced in the sunlight! My hope is that all students, no matter their age, will begin their own investigations into the natural world as they explore science and the many mysteries to be discovered there.

Our Focus groups read stories and articles about hockey and ice skating. Miss Foy from Mrs. Baird's class is on the figure skating team. She and one of the hockey coaches from Trine did a presentation at Hendry for our students. Trine provided tickets for our students and their families to see the women's hockey team play and the figure skating team performed at intermission.
Storms, internet and power out, oh my! Our tech team is working through the night and weekend so we're ready for Monday! "Had to vacate all vm's and restart. Now going server to server, restarting to check discs. It will take all day and then the physical servers after that."
Students will be joining their teachers for live learning today.
Here is a quick reminder of how to do that.
