Future astronomers were hard at work in Mrs. Shackelford’s sixth-grade class at Aurora Elementary School as students brought the cosmos to life through their own solar system models. With detailed planets, orbiting asteroids, and fascinating space facts, these young scientists explored the wonders of our galaxy in a hands-on style. 🪐

We love having guest visitors. Thanks, Big Dave from B-105, for talking to the 5th graders today.
Dave here- A big thank you to the 5th Grade teachers and students at Aurora Elementary for having me out today! I answered lots of great questions about my job, signed lots of cards, shoes, boots and shirts, and even took a few selfies. For #teacherappreciationweek, the teachers said they appreciated me keeping them occupied for an hour! 😂

A big thank you to everyone who came out to support Aurora Elementary School’s PTO Spring Carnival last Friday! From the laughter echoing through the hallways to the smiles on every face, it was a night filled with fun, games, and unforgettable memories.
Whether you volunteered your time, donated items, or simply came to enjoy the festivities with your family, your support helped make the event a huge success. Events like these not only bring our school community together but also help create lasting traditions our students look forward to year after year.
We’re grateful for our incredible PTO, staff, and volunteers who made it all possible—and to our amazing families for making it so much fun. Thank you for showing up, cheering on, and celebrating with us!
