We look forward to seeing you this Saturday!
2nd grade had their end of unit celebration. They tried many different types of Greek foods-- 2 different kinds of olives, olive pita chips, tzatziki sauce, gyro meat, and regular pita chips. The students got glasses to remind them of the different city-states they learned about. They ate on plates with the Greek flag.
We love our custodians!
Wednesday afternoon was our first Wellness Wednesday of the year! Students enjoyed hula hoop and jump rope stations!
First grade took a trip to Potawatomi Zoo on Wednesday!
Our past two life skills for this year were courage and fairness! These students have demonstrated these life skills in their classrooms... great work!
Friday was our big time capsule reveal! We were joined by many community members, former teachers, principals, and even Principal BJ Miller (the principal when the 1976 time capsule was buried!) We enjoyed looking through the contents of the time capsule and we were shocked at what things have changed and what things have stayed the same here at TES! Our student speakers did a great job running the program. Thank you to everyone who made this day possible! All items in the 1976 time capsule will be on display at The Depot in Topeka!
We have an amazing PTO who goes above and beyond for our students and staff! Thank you so much for all you do-- we appreciate you!
Reminder for all Parents and Students,

It was a busy day at Topeka as many grades wrapped up CKLA units! 2nd grade students learned about the first Olympics. They participated in a foot race, discus throwing, and chariot races. The students walked out with the torch and different flags of countries to show how everyone is welcome at the games.
Join us at Topeka to take a peek at the past! We're opening a time capsule from 1976 and we'd love to see you there!

4th graders at Topeka held their annual Market Day today! As part of their social studies unit, students had to create a business and choose a product to sell to the rest of the school.
The students were in charge of picking the price, the quantity of items they wanted to sell, and creating a poster advertising their business. We had bakeries, woodworking shops, artists, and many more! The other students in the school were able to purchase their items with pretend money. We have a lot of creative fourth graders at Topeka!
