Special thanks to Honored Veteran and Community member Adrian Swanson for delivering his yearly presentation about the American Flag and teaching our 4th Graders how to raise and lower Old Glory.
Watch for our Osseo-Fairchild "4th Grade Flag Team" every morning as they unfurl the flag, hoist her respectfully, and put her away safely at night.
4th Graders also explored the symbolism of the Missing Man's Table this past week (which was set up in the Elementary commons for all to view); double thanks to Mr. Swanson's generous donation and continued support for our learners!

🇬🇷 Bringing Greece to Life in Second Grade! 🇬🇷
Our second graders have been learning all about Ancient Greece, and today their lessons came to life in the best way! Havyn’s aunt and grandma, Joey and Brenda Hulett, recently returned from a trip to Greece and joined the class to share their knowledge, photos, and real-world experiences.
What an amazing way to wrap up the unit—thank you for helping our students connect their learning to the world beyond the classroom! 🌍✨

It's not every day you get a letter from the President of the United States!
Our 4th Graders learn to write letters (in cursive!), address them, and look up addresses/select people to send them to.
Last year, now 5th Grader Aubrey Hart chose to write to the White House to ask some questions about what it looked like inside after learning about the National Mall and it's many monuments in social studies...
...and this week she got a letter back, from the oval office, answering her great questions!
We are so proud of our students, their hard work, and their brilliant ideas! Some day, Ms. Hart may be sitting in that same

🧪✨7th grade science students recently made models of hydrocarbon molecules as they've been exploring petroleum as a class. 🧪✨
They created longer and longer chains of carbon and hydrogen atoms to represent different hydrocarbons such as Methane, Propane, Butane, Pentane, Octane and more!

Thank you to Shanna at Kwik Trip for giving our Osseo-Fairchild Industrial Electrical Principles students a tour of the Bakery and Milk Production facilities!
Fun fact: Kwik Trip’s bakery produces from scratch 225 loaves of bread and 1,600 (8-count) buns per minute. They receive 900,000 pounds of raw milk per day, which is used for their ice cream and milk products, and they package 80,000 gallons of milk daily.
Their motto is “Cow to Store in 24” — meaning within 24 hours of receiving raw milk, it's on its way to a store.
Thanks again for the amazing opportunity!

5th graders had an amazing day in Minnesota! 🧪🎭
They explored the Science Museum of Minnesota with hands-on experiments, exciting exhibits, and lots of curious questions. Then they wrapped up the trip with a performance of The Grinch — the perfect way to kick off the holiday season! 💚🎄
