Firefighter McCrary taught our second graders about the ways he contributes to our community!

​Students in Mr. Geisler’s American History class recently participated in an interactive primary source gallery walk, examining critical documents, photographs, and artifacts from the Gilded Age. ​The lesson was planned and facilitated by Ms. Brown, a student teacher visiting us from the University of Missouri. Through structured group rotations, students analyzed late 19th-century industrial growth, labor movements, and societal shifts, engaging in collaborative discussions to evaluate key historical evidence. ​We extend our sincere thanks to Ms. Brown for delivering an engaging, high-impact lesson for our students and for her outstanding work as a student educator!
