Today, our 5th graders took an exciting field trip to the Pony Express Museum in St. Joseph! Throughout the year, they have researched the history of the Pony Express, and this visit brought their learning to life as they explored the stables and rich history firsthand. A huge thank you to our Chilli MO PTO for sponsoring this incredible experience!











Our “Perfect Penmanship Award” was presented to Miss Monroe Albrecht! This talented kindergartner not only demonstrates exceptional manuscript skills but also impresses with her outstanding coloring abilities. Congratulations, Monroe!
