We had a successful book fair! In every Scholastic book fair event, 50% of the proceeds come back to the school. Plus, this week we were able to provide the library with new books and fulfill teachers’ wish lists! Special thanks to Wendy and Courtney for their hard work!
First Grade students are studying about plants. Today, students learned what a Botanist does and about the work of Baron Alexander von Humboldt. During science lab, students explored plant structures and function. Groups examined the different functions of stems using celery stems, water and food coloring. Students waited four hours, then observed the celery stems using their hand lens, made observations, illustrated their findings and recorded their data.
Congratulations to our 2023-2024 homecoming court and our queen, Pearl McWay!

First Grade Helpful Hedgehogs are learning about plants in science. This week they made an apple book detailing the parts of an apple from the seed to the apple.
Students developed a hypothesis about how many seeds an apple would contain. Then students dissected the apple and explored. Students discovered that although the apples may look alike many contained a different amount of seeds inside. Students culminated the apple research by tasting and graphing which apples they liked best.
5th Grade Favorites!!
Third grade recently hosted a STARBOOKS Author Sampling. We sampled books from five different authors. We transformed our classroom into a “restaurant” type atmosphere as we “tasted” our books.
Dr. Robert Garner, Beau's dad, talked to the first grade class about being a pediatrician and staying healthy. Dr. Garner is a pediatrician at Mercy, and he answered questions and shared x-rays. One of the hobbies Beau and his dad do together is gardening. Dr. Garner and Beau helped the students each plant their own Cilantro seeds. Thank you Dr. Garner and Beau for a great learning experience.
