Our 6th graders have been working so hard! They’ve stayed focused, put in the effort, and have been working fabulously with their partners! So proud of their teamwork, perseverance, and dedication!

6th graders had a great time completing their first science lab of the year! They were testing which liquids dissolve salt.

Mrs. Conklin's 6th grade class had a great time playing against Mrs. Larsen in Blooket. Happy Friday! 🤗

3 Ohl had such a great time at Camp Warburg for their field trip. They were able to canoe, do archery, and make banana boats on a camp fire! Thank you to the District 118 Foundation and Union School for allowing us to go!

6th grade had a fabulous time at The St. Louis City Museum! They even got a compliment for being "wonderful and polite." This doesn't shock us one bit because they truly are wonderful and kind!
