Wow! Check it out! The Science Club had a beautification day to beautify the front of the school! Thank you to Science Club families who donated time & supplies for our Science Club members to put to good use! They picked weeds, gathered trash & sticks, planted beautiful flowers and a new rose bush, mulched around trees, added a new bird bath and rocks with a cute welcome flag for the front. We had 60 members, 11 adults and 3 older siblings who were former Helena students. BEAUTIFUL day at Helena Elementary!
Our Kindergarten and 1st Grade students did a fabulous job this week on their school performances of "A World of Music." They traveled around the world and performed songs and dances from Mexico, Africa, Australia, Ireland, Japan, and America. We had SO much fun sharing this performance with family and friends! We hope that our performance has inspired others to travel to new places with love in their hearts and a little music too. Thank you to everyone who helped bring this fun performance to life.
