What a day, what a day! It all started with cupcake decorating after tornado sirens and storms, then ended with cupcake sharing and two groups of incredible 4-year-old graduates! 🎓🥰🌈🧁☔️
As students sang today, “WE DID IT!”!!! 🤩
Thank you to Maquoketa FFA and Cassie Miller for the gorgeous flowers we were able to gift to families. 🌸

Students are resuming their normal schedule. Thank you to our bus drivers, and all staff for keeping kids safe and calm.

Maquoketa Families,
We are implementing all of our tornado protocols until the tornado warning passes. If your student has not been picked up on the bus we will wait until after the storm passes.

Such a fun Track and Field day! The kids loved it! Thank you Mr. Schipper and HS students for your help and organizing a fun event!

Maquoketa Families,
I hope you are all safe after the storm. We will have school as normal today. If you need staff to be aware of any situation regarding your student and effects of the storm (ex. damage at your home), please reach out to your child's teacher or principal.

Thank you to Maquoketa State Bank, our 2nd grade business partners, for teaching us about money throughout the year! Today we celebrated the end of the year with pizza at the park!
THANK YOU MSB for all you do!








Mrs. Johnson's 2nd grade had 2 special readers this week!
Grace Coyle, our Ed Leadership student, finished her day with us by reading aloud to the students! Grace was a great helper! The kids loved extra reading or math practice with her!
Kerri Shultz, our Kiwanis reader, has visited us monthly and has shared some really good read alouds with us!



Briggs art club kids made symmetrical sculptures using stips of paper.
