Scott Vincent is the Grand Marshall of the Masonic Lodge this year. Each year the Grand Marshal is given money to donate to their community. Mr. Vincent kindly donated $12,000 to the high school science classroom. They will be remodeling the science lab this summer. Thank you so much Masonic Lodge and Scott Vincent!
Last week our amazing librarian, Tasha Hamil, along with the vision and help from our fantastic 5th grade teacher, Melia Wheeler, transformed the library into a 1600s colonial ship, bringing people and goods to the New World. 5th graders were immersed in their book, Blood on the River, The Story of Jamestown 1607. Then Mrs. Hamil along with her “matey” Mrs. Shoaf treated all the elementary classes to a pirate story inside the ship! Many people donated items to make this happen as well as help get it set up. Huge thanks to everyone who helped make this happen.
The 6th grade math class is full steam ahead with their “Coffee Corner”. They are learning so much about running a business by taking orders and delivering coffee to school staff members each morning. They keep track of their income and expenses and have to make change along with many other math exercises that are giving them real world experience.
