The Kewanee Rotary Club has once again demonstrated its generosity by providing every third-grade student with the opportunity to select books through the Scholastic Book Order. Each student was able to choose one or two titles of personal interest to take home and enjoy. In appreciation of this thoughtful gift, the third graders wrote heartfelt thank-you letters to express their gratitude. We are truly thankful for the Rotary Club’s continued support and commitment to fostering a love of reading in our students.

During the month of March, 4th and 5th-grade students explored instruments from both the band and orchestra. As part of their learning, students collaborated on a group project focused on a chosen instrument of interest. Their research included the instrument's history, notable musicians who have played it, its materials, and interesting facts. Using their findings, students created Google Slide presentations to share with their classmates. Due to the elementary roller skating schedule, classes were combined, allowing students to view and engage with presentations from other sections. Their hard work and enthusiasm were evident throughout the project, resulting in excellent presentations.
