On Thursday Mr. Dave Pi and Mr. Leither did a 1 mile walk with a 5 gallon bucket full of water. They did this to show how far third world countries have to walk to get water. The 1st graders were able to hop in during their PE class and help out! What a great way to spread awareness.
Color Run!
The start of our school gardens have been planted!! This is a small and slow process but we are excited to see how harvest turns out this Fall to find out what we can use in our school lunches. A BIG thank you goes out to the Lions club for donating money for the supplies to make this successful, Mark Schleper for bringing the raised gardens from a donation at his work, A&W in Albany for donating the pickle pails, and Head Cook Alice, Ms. Audrey Schleper, and Andy Harren for ALL of their help. The 7th and 9th grade Health classes also did an incredible job helping with the preparation and gardening. Stay tuned for updates!
Kindergarten received their scrapbooks today! ❤️ Students worked very hard on their pages throughout the year and Miss Sarah compiled the books and memories beautifully!
