On Monday, March 10, Sources of Strength hosted a school-wide Rock-Paper-Scissors tournament to bring everyone together and have some fun. Students got a beaded necklace when they arrived at school in the morning. They played R-P-S during passing time and lunch to win the beads of their opponent. Students had to have at least 5 necklaces to challenge a staff member. At the end of the day, the whole school cheered on the top 16 winners for the tournament. Grant Fink was the gracious champion of a $20 Kwik Trip gift card. Fun was had by all.

First grade had the opportunity to learn about the process of making natural maple syrup. Mr. and Mrs. Ostertag shared their expertise and craft of maple syrup with our first graders. We were able to see a tree tapped at H.B. Patch. It was truly engaging. The students thoroughly enjoyed tasting the pure maple syrup compared to the store-bought version, solidifying their curiosity about the process.
