Happy Earth Day! This is the 2nd year that Bayer has partnered with our 1st graders to celebrate Earth Day. Every 1st grader got to make a bird feeder and played a game called “Happy Earth, Sad Earth.” Bayer also gave each 1st grader a t-shirt, a tomato plant, and a milkweed plant to feed the butterflies. Thank you, Bayer!!
P.S. - Check out the pictures of our hallway! We kicked off the Earth Day Celebration by creating the most beautiful kites!

Storyteller Bobby Norfolk brought stories to life, every student helped create a reading poster, and Mrs. Nurnberger packed up over 400 books in the library for students to check out. The books she wrapped up had not been checked out in a while. The students loved picking out their mystery books and were excited to determine the future of their book.
