Mrs. Lechtenberg is just loving how the third grade “fall”ing leaf prints turned out!!! To think, their tiny fingers built the leaf print blocks by cutting small pieces of tag board.

The September fine arts student of the month is described by his teachers as a very hard worker both in class and their extracurricular activities. Hunter is dedicated to making the best music while also being respectful and communicating in a timely manner.

At the beginning of the school year, Hunter became immediately involved in additional opportunities and helped lead additional ensembles in both the band and vocal program.
