Melrose 5th graders joined forces with the Melrose Area Women of Today for an Earth Day Project. Our students collected 64 pounds of plastic, which will be recycled - and eventually used to make a bench for the community!
Our teachers are amazing! Happy Teacher Appreciation Week!
This year's Econ Challenge was all done virtually in stages through April. This year's competitors were Gracelyn Sakry, Brandon Stalboerger, and Grace Petersen. After the first round of competition, which was a 30 question test taken individually, they advanced to the State round. This was another 30 question test taken individually. They didn't advance to the final round, but Gracelyn, Grace, and Brandon had fun, stretched their knowledge of economics a bit, and came away from the competition with a couple pizza meals, a t-shirt, and a cool experience!
