SOLAR ECLIPSE 2024: Due to the Solar Eclipse on April 8th, we will be on a modified schedule. The MS/HS will dismiss at 11:30am and CFE will dismiss at 12:30pm. This is a once or twice in a lifetime event and a great educational opportunity for students. The main viewing timeframe for the eclipse is during our normal dismissal, therefore we determined it would be best to modify our day to ensure that students are home safely with family prior to the event.

AG LITERACY MONTH: Second grade students had a “sweet” opportunity to participate in AG Literacy month! First, students listened to the read aloud story, I Love Strawberries, by Shannon Anderson. This book is about a girl who is trying to convince her parents to allow her to have a strawberry patch. She shows her parents that she is responsible and able to care for the strawberries despite how much work it is. Between the illustrations and writing, students were able to make connections to their recent scientific learning about living things! Then, they enjoyed a healthy and delicious treat of cut up strawberries with a mini rice cake. Lots of fun was had during this experience!
