Special thank you to Judge Smith for taking the time to help our 3rd grade class run a mock trial! Students learned about how a trial operates and the role of the judicial branch of the government.

We ended our day with and intense Battle of the Books competition. Students in 4th and 5th grade battled it out all morning until there were only two teams left. The 5th grade Radical Raspberry Roasters battled The 4th Grade Bookworms in the final round. Congratulations to The 4th Grade Bookworms. They will go on to compete against the winning team from each Plainfield elementary school in April. They won their own "Battleship" game as a prize from Mrs. Schwanekamp. Thank you to every student who participated.

STEM Specialists from the IDOE visited Guilford Elementary School on Friday, March 11th to observe STEM in action. Our school has applied for STEM certification and this visit was the last step in this process. Our school will be notified if we are STEM certified, through the state of Indiana, in early May. STEM is what we do here at Guilford so we were excited to show off the learning that takes place daily. The specialists even joined in to dress up like scientists, the theme for the day. Thank you to our students and staff for going above and beyond to make this day so memorable.

Fourth graders paired up with first graders and enjoyed some “Starbooks” today. Students took the lead in turning their community into a real Starbucks. They decorated, served, cleaned up after one another, and spent time reading with the customers. We could get used to this!

Thank you to students from Plainfield High School for taking professional photos of our families and for playing the violins throughout the evening. Fancy Nancy would be proud.

First graders enjoyed receiving valentines from relatives who live all over the United States. Many even received notes from other countries. Students charted where their letters were mailed from and then tallied how many letters they received from each state. Students will treasure these valentines forever. Just another way Guilford teachers make learning joyful and help students apply learning to the world around them.

Mrs. Schwanekamp's 4th Grade class participated in the Heart and Sole Shoe Drive and helped Guilford Elementary collect 646 pairs of shoes! The Heart and Sole Shoe Drive was sponsored by Hendricks County Solid Waste Management and Changing Footprints, and was designed to keep shoes out of landfills while redistributing them to homeless, disaster-stricken, or underprivileged people. We are so proud of these students and their helping hearts!

District administrators love being invited to assist in classrooms. Today, Asst. Superintendent Mr. Wolfe (he oversees budgets and operations) ran Mrs. Carter's classroom store, with the lesson "Interest free loans for good behavior!" What a great way to spend a Friday afternoon.
