Alta View Elementary

Last Tuesday, we celebrated the last Chess Masters session at school and recognized the winners of our 2nd Chess Masters Tournament.

🏆 Beginner Level: Sofia
🏆 Intermediate Level: TJ
🏆 Advanced Level: Diego

The winners received a certificate and a chessboard as a reward for their effort and achievement. We hope all of our chess players had a great time this year, had the opportunity to show their abilities, and learned new strategies to improve their chess skills.

Our 4th and 5th grade students serve as our school’s Student Council Leadership Team. At the beginning of the school year, students campaign and run for office before being voted in by their peers.

Student Council members are positive role models throughout the school. Each week, they work with our kindergarten teachers to help students clean and organize their desks. They also support our PTA during special events and activities, including Veterans Day celebrations and helping display student artwork in the library during our art showcase.

In addition, Student Council organizes and runs our Harry Potter Penny Wars fundraiser, helping promote school spirit and teamwork. The group meets once a month to learn and grow as leaders while discussing ways they can make a positive impact in our school community.

Thanks goes out to all of our Student Council members for their hard work, and to their president and vice president, Liam and Emery.

A huge shout out to Mrs. Otteson and Mrs. Mann for all they do to develop the leaders of tomorrow on our Student Council!

🍴✨ Our amazing 5th graders just completed a deliciously fun project! Each student created or made their own recipe and shared it with the class. Not only did they get to explore their creativity in the kitchen, but they also practiced important math skills like measuring and fractions along the way.

All of their recipes have now been compiled into a special 5th Grade recipe book — a keepsake they’ll cherish forever! 📚❤️ It’s incredible to see learning and creativity come together in such a tasty way.
