Spoon River Valley CUSD #4

Mrs. Weese’s College Speech class brought the energy with a creative film pitch project 🎬 One group (Morgyn, Greyson, Ella, and Taylor!) pitched their original film Mission: Unqualified—and wow, they thought of everything. From budget and casting to screenplay details and marketing, this felt like a real Hollywood pitch. The highlight? An incredible, original trailer that definitely would’ve secured the funding 😄 So fun to see students thinking creatively, collaborating, and presenting with confidence. Outstanding work all around!

5th graders took a break from IAR testing to become scientists for the day 🦉 They dove into owl pellet dissection and worked together to carefully uncover, analyze, and rebuild skeletal remains; just like real archaeologists and biologists. Proud of this group!

Today our students heard from Savannah Bowles, who shared her experience in graphic design and her journey after Valley.
