Garfield School: Garfield students participated in the annual 6th Grade Field Day at KHS! They had an awesome time meeting new friends and playing games such as High Five Dribble, Soccer Shoot Out, Frisbee Toss, Homerun Derby, and so much more!
History came to life today at Garfield School, where 4th graders hosted their annual Wax Museum event. Dressed as their favorite historical figures, from Rosa Parks and Dr. Seuss to Taylor Swift and Jackie Robinson, students transformed the gymnasium into a living gallery. Each student stood beside a hand-crafted tri-fold presentation filled with fascinating facts, ready to "come to life" at the press of a button. Parents and teachers were invited to walk through the museum, pressing buttons to hear short, student-delivered biographies.
