Did you know The Grand is the tallest mountain in the Teton range at 13,775 feet!

At Glacier Bay, Flat Trojan got to join the ranger on perhaps the most unique job in the National Park System. He boarded a cruise ship and spent the day on board with the passengers, teaching them about the park.

Flat Trojan Traveled to Yosemite Falls. He learned it drops 2,425 feet and is made up of 3
different falls: Upper Yosemite Falls, Middle Cascade, and Lower Yosemite Falls.

Our very first Tremendous Trojans of the 2026-2027 School Year are Gracelynn Hampton and Mykah Blackwood. Both girls have exemplified positive classroom behavior, kindness on the playground, and hard work with their studies. We are so proud to have them on our campus, and we cannot wait to see what they accomplish this year! Thank you, girls!

Mrs. White’s sixth graders rocked their math lesson today! They built ratio models, compared quantities, and showed off some impressive problem‑solving skills. Love seeing their excitement for learning!

Parents, we need your help making sure every student gets to the correct place at the end of the day.

Notes sent with students are helpful, but not every teacher receives them, and sometimes the office, transportation, or bus drivers are unaware of a change. If the office or transportation does not have the updated information, your child will follow their regular dismissal routine.

To avoid any confusion:
-Please notify the office directly of a change
-OR notify us through your classroom’s communication platform (ClassDojo, Remind, GroupMe, etc.).
-Make sure the message is sent early enough (by 2:30 PM) for the office and transportation staff to see it.
Clear communication keeps every student safe and ensures they get exactly where they need to be.

Calling All Bird Watchers—Help Our Students Track Hummingbirds!
Our Fifth-Grade students are launching a community hummingbird‑tracking project, and we’d love your help!

📍 See a hummingbird anywhere—in your yard, at the park, or around town
📸 Snap a photo or jot down the time and location
📝 Report it using our Hummingbird Sighting Form: https://forms.gle/BxdpV78WSRCDsc6o9

Every sighting helps our students collect real‑world data on migration and habitat—and shows how learning can take flight beyond the classroom.

Today we received mail from six more national parks and a message from a reporter in Kotzebue, Alaska asking for more information about our project! How fun is that?!?! Thanks so much to the following national parks for participating: Carlsbad Caverns National Park, Isle Royale National Park, Cuyahoga Valley National Park, Joshua Tree National Park, Saguaro National Park & White Sands National Park. Our Flat Trojans are haivng a blast learning our country and so are we! #flattrojan #trojannation #nationalparks @CarlsbadCavernsNationalPark @IsleRoyaleNationalPark, @Cuyahoga ValleyNationalPark @JoshuaTreeNationalPark @SaguaroNationalPark @WhiteSandsNationalPark

Our 5th graders had a great lesson today as our SRO Brandon Smith stopped by to teach proper flag etiquette. Students learned how to show respect for the American flag, the correct way to handle and fold it, and why these traditions matter.

We appreciate our SRO Brandon Smith for taking the time to share this important knowledge with our students and for supporting Kirby School District!
