ELEMENTARY PARKING REMINDER: Parents that pick students up from the elementary school on a regular basis need to get a number from the elementary office and display that number in the passenger side window. Please stay in a single line to avoid accidents. The safest way to pick up the children is to follow the above procedure. If you must pick your child up from the gym, please use the yellow walkway parallel to the elementary building, go through the playground and use the crosswalk to enter into the middle school parking lot at the East end of the Middle School building. Thank you for keeping the children safe.

The fourth grade students studied the French influence on early America in Missouri History. One of the French influences that they focused on was the way the French built their homes.   The students were assigned to construct a model of a French house. Several pictures and examples from previous years and actual French homes in Ste. Genevieve were shown so that the classes could get some ideas. The criteria for the houses were: vertical construction of logs or wood, one story high, a steep roof, galleries (porches) around the house. Extra credit was given for added details such as fences, gardens and stables. The French homes were shown at the 4th Grade Parent's Night with tremendous enthusiasm from all who came to view them.
This 4th Grade student's authentic house in on permanent display in the Visitor's Center in Ste. Genevieve.
