✨ Enrichment Funds in Action ✨

Mrs. Despard shared some of the fun and meaningful ways her 4th grade class (4D) has been using enrichment funds this year! 📚🎉

💻 Access to Stylus to practice cursive on computers
🧺 New soft start containers
🧱 Legos for soft start time
🎨 Paint & fabric for bottle biography projects (featuring inventors from the Industrial Revolution!)
📌 Clips for the board
📖 Guided reading strips
🌎 Virtual field trip to the Fallingwater House in Pennsylvania

These resources help create engaging, hands-on learning experiences and support students in so many different ways throughout the day ❤️🖤

Happy Belated Administrative Professionals Day! 🎉

We would like to recognize and thank Chisa and Bird for everything they do to support our school! Their positivity and kindness make a difference each day, and the care and encouragement they provide to our students, staff, and families truly stand out.

We greatly appreciate all that they do! ✨

✨ Did you catch it?! ✨

When you were at the Bowman Woods Art Show/Showcase earlier this month, did you notice the brand-new projector in the gym?! 👀🎥

This awesome upgrade was made possible thanks to our Bowman Blast fundraiser and a grant awarded to Mr. Green through the Linn-Mar School Foundation 🙌

This is a great investment for our students and staff to enjoy for years to come! ❤️🖤

🐾Sneak peek alert! 😊

✔️ We picked up our sample signs and love how they turned out. These are such a fun way to celebrate our 4th graders before they head off to Hazel Point, and if you haven't ordered yet, you are in luck! The ordering window has been extended through May 3rd!

✨ Enrichment Funds in Action 🎬📚

A big thank you to Mrs. Clanin for sharing how she’s been using her enrichment funds! 💛

Our 3rd and 4th grade students have been having so much fun creating stop motion videos on the iPad 🎥✨ Through these funds, Mrs. Clanin was able to purchase items like small figures, playdough, iPad stands, felt boards and pieces, fabric scissors, people figures, and even dollhouse furniture 🧸🎨

She shared that students have absolutely loved this form of creative storytelling in the library—and it’s been amazing to see their imagination come to life! 🌟
