Earlier this month, Brenda Salyers from Cumberland County Soil & Water Conservation District (SWCD) visited our fourth graders to share important tips on soil conservation, wildlife protection, and water quality. Students put their new knowledge to work by creating posters, and SWCD awarded first and second place prizes in each class! Huge thanks to Brenda and SWCD for inspiring our young conservationists. Congratulations to all the winners!

After completing their unit on life cycles, Mrs. Smith’s second graders brought their lessons to life through hands-on exploration. They successfully hatched adorable baby chicks and watched them begin their journey. In addition to their feathered friends, the students planted sunflowers and grass. The grass is even serving as "hair" for their creative "silly face" projects. Now, the class is eagerly monitoring their chrysalises as they prepare to transform into butterflies!

The first-grade teachers pulled off an April Fools' prank by swapping classrooms this morning! The students were surprised to find different teachers in their rooms, who then administered a spelling test of random words. It was a morning of fun confusion before their "real" teachers returned!
