🚨🔍 CSI: Science Lab Edition! 🔍🚨

Uh-oh… something mysterious has happened in our science lab! Luckily, our best investigators are on the case!

Our students are stepping into the role of CSI scientists, tackling a make-believe crime using real science skills. Armed with curiosity and critical thinking, they’ll be observing clues, asking questions, making predictions, testing ideas, and drawing conclusions — just like real scientists do!

No real crime here — just big brains, curious minds, and lots of scientific discovery! 🧪✨

Stay tuned as our junior detectives crack the case one clue at a time. 🧪🧠✨

As we celebrate National School Counseling Week, we are honored to shine a spotlight on a very special school counselor, Dr. Leibach! She has implemented several programs at Archer since joining the team, including the popular Danny's Dilemmas Series for teaching character traits. She teaches lessons in every classroom throughout the year and works with students both individually and in groups. We are so grateful to have her here at Archer Elementary!!

Such a great PBIS event at Archer Elementary School! Our students continued our Law Enforcement Appreciation Day by giving a Hand for Heroes. Thanks to Deputy Erik Nystrom for letting us decorate your patrol car, and to the many people who helped make this event possible. The kids LOVED it!

We are excited to shine a spotlight this week on Archer's Teacher of the Year, Ms. Brackett! She is an amazing member of our school and we were overjoyed last night to have her represent us at the Teacher of the Year Award Ceremony.

In honor of National Law Enforcement Day, our first faculty/staff member that we would like to put a spotlight on is Deputy Nystrom. We are so thankful to have him here with us at Archer Elementary!
