First graders in Mrs. Hellenga’s class are learning about living and non-living things. We read a book to learn what makes something living or non-living. Then, students practiced sorting pictures into living and non-living groups. We also played “Vote with Your Feet!” Mrs. Hellenga showed a picture, and students moved to one side of the room if they thought it was living and the other side if it was non-living. It was a fun way to learn and get moving.

The fourth graders are studying different types of energy by creating paper roller coasters. They get to observe a marble using the force of gravity to turn potential energy into kinetic energy.




Andes Central high school students were helping the preschoolers with their lunch trays on the first few days of school. Those trays can be heavy for little hands, but they did an amazing job!




The 2nd Annual Back to School Fun Night was a huge success! Andes Central students and their families enjoyed an evening of inflatables, food, and even dunking their teachers in the Dunk Tank!
