Our 5th Grade Trailblazers wrapped up their science unit on animal adaptations with an exciting hands-on owl pellet dissection! Students became scientists as they investigated the bones and remains found inside the pellets to learn more about owl diets, food chains, and how animals adapt to survive in their environments.

A huge thank you to our PTO for funding the grant that provided the supplies for this engaging learning experience. We are so grateful for your continued support of our students and classrooms!

🚀✨ STEM in Action at Wildlight Elementary! ✨🚀

Our STEM Club buzzed with creativity, curiosity, and innovation! Students were diving into hands-on challenges where they plan, design, and bring their ideas to life. From testing new concepts to thinking outside the box, they were not afraid to try new things and explore what’s possible.

What made our STEM Club truly special is the way students learn from and support one another—sharing ideas, solving problems together, and encouraging each other every step of the way. Even when things don’t go as planned, they keep a positive attitude, using each experience as an opportunity to grow and improve.

We’re proud to see our young innovators building confidence, resilience, and a passion for discovery. The future is bright at Wildlight Elementary!

A special thank you to Mrs. McBee for sponsoring our STEM Club and inspiring our students to explore, create, and innovate every day. Your support makes all of this possible!💡🌟
