Get ready… things are about to get a little GROSS (and a whole lot of FUN)! Our 21st Century is excited to partner with the University of Minnesota Extension and their Minnesota 4-H program to bring you Gross Science — a hands-on, curiosity-filled experience your students will not want to miss.
From slime to saliva to the science behind it all, students will explore, learn, and maybe even say “ewww!” while having a great time.
We have TWO sessions available for:
1. Grades K–2 (March–April)

Good day from Dr. Grover, elementary principal. We are noticing some congestion during pickup and drop-off. We ask that if you are walking your child into and out of the building, you please either park in the far lane or the parking lot. The lane closest to the building is designed for pick-up and drop-off only to keep traffic moving. Thank you for understanding and helping to keep our students safe. Dr. G.
After a strong and successful winter fundraiser with our Girls Basketball team, we are bringing TeamUp back for Baseball.
The event kicks off tomorrow, and we are excited to build on that momentum. Our student-athletes had a great experience last time, and this is another opportunity to support our programs in a meaningful way.

Hello Panther Families,

Sports allowing 6th grade participation:
⚾ Baseball
🥎 Softball
Sports NOT allowing 6th grade participation:
🏃 Track and Field
⛳ Golf
We understand this may be disappointing for some students who were hoping to participate this spring. Please know we are continuing to look for opportunities to expand participation. Our golf coaches are currently working on ideas for future youth programming, and we will share more information with the community when it becomes available.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out.
