Students in the Extended Care program created a colorful mural full of fall-themed items! We learned that a mural is a work of art that many people can help create. Students ages 4 to 12 worked together and had so much fun lying on their stomachs while coloring this creative masterpiece! 🍂🎨 #brillionlions

STEM came to life for our 3rd graders as they explored genetics and adaptation! By testing how different “beaks” picked up various “foods,” students discovered how traits like beak shape help birds thrive in their habitats. #brillionstem #brillionlions

The kindergartners enjoyed a special visit from Miss Fischer’s brother, a firefighter with the Forest Junction Fire Department! 🚒 He read an entertaining story about a fire hydrant and reminded students that firefighters may look different in their gear, but they’re always there to help — not to be afraid of. ❤️ #brillionlions.

Mr. Levash’s 5th-grade class is diving into the study of gravity in STEM! Students experimented with building their own roller coasters and tested how gravity and motion work together. Their goal? To design a coaster with as many loops as possible — a fun and exciting way to explore science in action! #brillionstem #brillionlions
