Let's make butter! The Frog students recently had a fun time whipping butter into shape! Last Friday they did a science activity and all that was needed was cream, a bag, and some elbow grease! The goal was achieved as students put the cream in a bag and shaked their way, watching the butter form. Voila, a tasty batch of homemade butter! The experiment was a hit with our students and proved to not only be a tasty science experiment but allowed the students to have fun and dance around in the process!

Pumpkin fun for everyone! With Halloween fast approaching, this year we challenged our older students to come up with the most amazing pumpkin carving imaginable! They could choose their own clever way to decorate a pumpkin. The options were limitless and the results proved how creative our MNCS Elementary students are. Some carved spooky characters, some used props, some were painted vibrant and colorful, some showed precision and detailed artwork...the inspiration was limitless! The competition was fierce, and the judging was terrific with the help of some fellow High School friends! First place was "Dragon the Dragon" which showed some impressively colorful painting skills, second place was "Wishing" which had a detailed black cat perched on a ledge, and third place was "The Horror House" which features strong attention to detail and structure in the form of a mini pumpkin house.  Thank you to all MNCS students for your pumpkin submissions, everyone did an amazing job!!!
