This school year, the Mintonye Student Council, comprised of three 4th grade representatives and six 5th grade representatives chosen by their peers, organized several fundraisers, including the popular candy gram event in February. Their hard work and dedication resulted in raising $400, which was donated to the Isaiah 117 House, an organization dedicated to supporting children transitioning into foster care. With an estimated cost of $300 to support one child, the Student Council’s donation will have a meaningful impact.

On Friday, May 16, Student Council members had the opportunity to meet with a representative from the Isaiah 117 House to present their donation and learn more about the organization’s mission. The representative shared insights into the upcoming opening of the facility and how it will serve children in need.

"We really felt like we were doing a good thing. We thought about how if we were in the position of [children entering foster care], we would want that love, care, and support to help us feel better. We know that a little money can go a long way, so we were happy that we could donate a lot of money to help them more," said Hadley, a Student Council member.

On May 6, fifth grade students at Mintonye Elementary embarked on an unforgettable adventure at Camp Tecumseh, where they enjoyed a day filled with hands-on learning, outdoor activities, and unforgettable experiences.

In Mrs. Helms' first grade classroom, young scientists are diving into an exciting hands-on science project—learning all about the life cycle of the painted lady butterfly!

The journey began with two cups, each containing seven tiny caterpillars. With eager eyes and curious minds, the students are observing these fascinating creatures each day, watching closely for changes as they grow and develop. Every student has their own butterfly journal where they record their observations, draw pictures, and write about what they see.

This project offers a unique opportunity for students to see science in action. From watching the caterpillars eat and grow, to the moment they form a chrysalis, the classroom is buzzing with anticipation. The ultimate goal? To witness the magical transformation as butterflies emerge from their chrysalises.

If all goes as hoped, Mrs. Helms’ class will soon celebrate the final stage of the life cycle: releasing their painted lady butterflies into the great outdoors. The students can’t wait to see them take flight and begin their lives in nature.

Through this engaging and memorable project, first graders are not only learning about metamorphosis—they’re also developing a sense of wonder and respect for the natural world.

Stay tuned for more updates from Mrs. Helms’ classroom as the butterfly adventure continues!

Miss Howe's fourth grade class has spent the past several weeks working on their Famous Hoosier projects.  Each group selected someone who is either from Indiana or spent a significant amount of time in Indiana to research, write an essay about, and create a life size poster of their person.  We have had so much fun learning all about so of the amazing inventors, politicians, athletes, entrepreneurs, and entertainers that have come out of our home state.  These posters will be on display at the Ice Cream Social on May 13.

The students in Mrs. Frey’s First Grade class had Peep Day on Friday April 18th! They participated in a Peep taste test where they sampled Cookies and Cream, Cotton Candy, Party Cake, Rice Krispie, Watermelon, and Classic Flavors. The students voted and decided Cookies and Cream was the best flavor! They completed centers including a Graphing Center, Compound Word Center, and Long Vowel Sound center. Each student also practiced their math facts by hunting for eggs that were filled with math facts. These First Graders finished up the day with an Egg Hunt! It was an EGGcellent Day!
