6th grade art classes were gifted pumpkins from Mrs. Weller to decorate! They all enjoyed creating their own masterpieces!
Mr. Walsh's 6th grade science was investigating ground water. How rainwater moved thru sand and clay to create aquifers.
Giving thanks for our retired teachers that come back to sub for us. They do cross walk duty, fill in for secretaries, and help sub in the classroom. We couldn't do it without them! #thankasub #usd379
This week's Bengal Spotlight Featured Department is our Math Department. We are extremely lucky to have three of the best Math Pros in the business! Below is just a glimpse at what makes them who they are! Read on while they cruise off into the sunset...
Megan Griffiths is starting her first year back teaching after staying at home with her kids and raising them. She subbed last year in the school district. She is starting her third year coaching middle school volleyball. She also helps coach other sports including softball and basketball. She has 5 children who range in grades from 1st to 7th grade.
Courtney Pfizenmaier is in her 6th year at CCCMS after 15 years of previous experience as an elementary teacher, elementary administrator, and STEM Coach in Geary County USD 475. She lives on a farm in southwest Clay County with her husband, four kids, cows, two dogs, and lots of farm cats. Courtney enjoys watching her kiddos extracurricular activities, reading, landscaping, and drinking Dr. Pepper.
Jay Sleichter is starting his 16th year teaching in USD 379. For the previous 15 years, he has been teaching, 6, 7, and 8th math and science, 9th Natural Resources, Elementary Intervention, 2nd-grade math, and K, 1, and 2 computer skills at Wakefield. He also taught for 5 years in Manhattan. Jay and his wife Linda live on a small farm north of Clay Center and have 5 kids. 2 in college/graduate school, 2 in high school, and 1 at Garfield. When Jay isn’t at school, he is busy growing produce and selling at Farmer's Markets, and raising show pigs. Fun fact, Jay’s family sells their show pigs in a sale that his Dad started 57 years ago. Jay enjoys working with Planet Jr, walking behind tractors, watching his kids participate in sports and 4-H events, and watching K-State football games.
Picture Retakes tomorrow!

There will be no school tomorrow Thursday, October 19th or Friday, October 20th enjoy your long weekend!
The 6th-grade art classes were recently busy making pipe cleaners & pom pom spiders for Mrs. Weller's 2nd-grade class at Lincoln. These have been put in their Halloween Countdown Haunted House that we made for their class last year. Second-grade students take turns opening a door each day and find a friendly spider with a name and a joke of the day! This corresponds with the spider unit the 2nd grade does every year in October! Mrs. Weller has reported that the students look forward to this event every day! Good job, 6th graders!
Tomorrow is the end of 1st Quarter! It has definitely flown by! Please remember it is an 11:45 Dismissal day.

Hello from Mrs. Koster's PAWS Class! The class wants everyone to know that they have the BEST PAWS teacher in the history of the world! The group is a fun bunch who enjoy starting their day by playing Retro Bowl and checking their email. On Thursdays, the group plays an intense game of Silent Ball.
