Progress reports are coming home today. Be sure to check those backpacks when your student gets in! 💙🐾💛
Our 2nd Grade Robotics Club brought the excitement at the 2025-2026 Robotics Showcase at CPE. Students showed off their coding skills with “Dash” robots as they tackled the lava field challenge, the Dash Cone Grand Prix, and Calm Mission Coding activities. They also got a look at what’s ahead by watching 3rd-5th graders compete with more advanced builds. Families even jumped in to try the courses and quickly learned that coding takes patience and practice. We definitely have some future engineers in the making.
MOMC celebrations are still going strong at Halstead! Our amazing MFLC joined 2nd and 5th grade for a quick story time, maze races, and a great conversation about how she helps our school community. We are so grateful for the positive impact she makes every day! 💛🐾💙
