In the background, school buses, parked cars, traffic cones, and the Iron Station Elementary School building are visible under a clear sky.

The verdict is in! Fourth grade students participated in a mock courtroom trial based on the story The Emperor's New Clothes. Students analyzed texts, cited strong evidence, and worked collaboratively to defend their cases.

Field day will be Monday, May 18th. It will be a time to celebrate friendships and have fun together. For safety, it is a student-only event - unless you are an adult volunteering at a specific station. Notes have been sent home to fill out and return if you are interested in volunteering. Please know, that date may be wrong on some green notes sent home - field day is MONDAY, MAY 18th (rain date is the 19th).
