🚣‍♀️🌿 5th Grade Hits the Water! 🌊🐾 Our 5th graders had an unforgettable experience at Columbia Crossings River Park during yesterday's Canoemobile field trip! They paddled the Susquehanna River and learned all about the plants and animals that thrive in and around the water. From spotting critters to understanding the river’s role in our ecosystem, it was an adventure packed with hands-on learning and fun! 🦢🐸🌱 #Canoemobile #SusquehannaRiver #OutdoorEducation #5thGradeFun #CrimsonTidePride

🌟 Staff Spotlight: Meet Ms. Otthofer! 🌟 Today, we’re shining the spotlight on Ms. Otthofer with some fun facts: 🍜 Her favorite food is spicy ramen! 🦜 If she could choose any animal as a pet, it would be a penguin. How cool is that? 🌎 Her happy place is Argentina, where she taught English in 2023. What an amazing experience! 🎶 And if she could have a theme song play every time she walks into a room, it would be “Walking on Sunshine.” Let's hear it for Ms. Otthofer! 🌟👏 #TidePride #StaffSpotlight #GetToKnowUs #TaylorTide

🎨 Art in Motion with Mr. Achuff's Class! 🎨 Our creative students worked in groups to bring their art to life! First, they traced one of their group members and showed motion within the forms. Then, they filled the outlines with dynamic lines and shapes. To finish, they added pops of color using different mediums. 🖌️✨ Check out how they’ve combined teamwork and creativity to make some truly unique pieces! #ArtClass #CreativityInAction #Teamwork #StudentArtists
