Christmas fun is in full swing in Mrs. Hayes’ class! Students visited the 🌲 tree farm, practiced sharing with the 🚂 trains, stacked 🍬 gumdrops, trimmed Santa’s beard 🎅, and explored the 🍪 gingerbread sensory bin. They’re becoming so independent at stations and staying engaged! ⭐ #theknightway #bettertogether

There will be no school today for the Farmington R-7 School District due to inclement weather. Please stay safe, stay warm, and enjoy the extra time at home. Snow Day #1

Today’s announcement features the first student-created Snow Day design from our Grades 5–12 Snow Day Design Challenge! We’ll be sharing the top student submissions each time school is canceled this winter, and we can’t wait for you to see the creativity our Knights have put into their artwork.

To make the morning a little brighter, we’re also sharing a few snapshots of student art projects from around the district. Our classrooms have been busy this semester, and this is a great chance to celebrate the talent of our students while you enjoy an unexpected day off.

Stay cozy, Knights, and we’ll see you soon!
