Happy Valentine's Day! Our 2nd and 3rd graders explored the fascinating world of positive and negative space while creating some awesome Valentine's Day art! Check out these creative projects where they learned how the empty space is just as important as the shapes they made. ❤️
There will be no History Club Thursday morning due to the late start.
Due to the extreme wind chill factors forecasted for Thursday morning, the ABO school district will have a 10:15 am late start. The Blunt route bus will depart Blunt at 9:30 am. Please bundle up and arrive safely, it only takes a few minutes of exposure to skin at these temps to cause injury.
It was the BEST time today at our assembly today. Great music from Hannah Nicolaisen and a beautiful message from Cory Greenwood. Find your harness. Embrace the ones who love you. Someone loves you. Your story matters. You matter. 💙💙💙
Our elementary classes had the best Tuesday afternoon! We were able to hear an amazing message from Cory Greenwood infused with live music. We have SUPERPOWERS within us.
Hey ABO... let's see those smiles!

Ancient Olympic Games wrap up! Today we "boxed" and threw homemade javelins! Boxing involved memorizing items in a "box"- no fight club action! Winners from 6th Gold include Landrie in the boxing division and Jeremy taking the javelin win. 6th Purple winners were Arie in the javelin and Skye taking the victory in boxing.
Stay tuned for the overall city-state winner... the tabulating has begun.
