Today our 2nd graders at Pauline Central had an exciting visit from the Topeka & Shawnee County Public Library! 📚💫

Students kicked off a bright and colorful adventure as they learned all about auroras—what causes them, where you can see them, and why they shine with such incredible colors. With increased solar storm activity this year, it was the perfect time to dive into this glowing phenomenon! 🌈🌌

After exploring the science behind the northern lights, students got hands-on and creative by making their own aurora art using magnets. 🎨🧲 The room was filled with curiosity, color, and lots of “wow!” moments as space science truly came to life.

Thank you to the Topeka & Shawnee County Public Library for sparking imagination and wonder in our learners today! ✨📖💙

🌟ROAR Buck Winners Shine Bright🌟
Our latest Pauline Central ROAR Buck winners had a stellar time with our school counselor! 🚀✨ Students got creative making their own constellations using pretzels and marshmallows — a fun (and tasty!) way to learn about the stars while celebrating their positive behavior. 🌠

We’re so proud of our students for being Respectful, Responsible, and Safe — keep reaching for the stars, Jaguars! 💫

🚀 Blast Off Into Learning! 🌌

Tonight our Pauline Central families joined us for our Family Engagement Night: Blast Off Into Learning! It was an out-of-this-world evening filled with hands-on, space-themed activities that inspired curiosity and creativity in our young learners.

Students and their families explored stations focused on math, science, reading, and art — all with a galactic twist! 🌠 From a galaxy dance party to Saturn ring tossing and building constellations, everyone had fun learning together.

A huge thank you to our amazing staff and families who made this night a stellar success. Together, we’re launching a lifelong love of learning at Pauline Central! 💫

📚 Exciting news from our librarian, Mrs. Riner! 📚

On Tuesday evening, she attended an author visit in Wichita featuring Lauren Tarshis, the author of the “I Survived” series, and Scott Dawson, the series’ illustrator!

Mrs. Tarshis shared about the extensive research that goes into each historical fiction story and even showed photos and interacted with children in attendance. Together, she and Mr. Dawson walked everyone through the process of creating a book — from inspiration and research to writing drafts, editing, illustrating, and promoting once it’s published.

Mrs. Riner even had the chance to meet and visit with both creators of this beloved series! What an inspiring experience to bring back to our Pauline Central readers! 💙📖✨
