This week the Mobile Agriculture Lab is on-site for our kids to try out experiments and do activities related to the importance of farming, agriculture, and life sciences. Here are some pictures of Miss Neff's kids doing some ag-tivities. Thanks to our Academic Boosters and the WV Farm Bureau for making this possible. #SchoolOfChampions #GoodThingsHappenHere

A few announcements for this week: This week is Spooky Spirit Week. You can find the theme day schedule on our school Facebook. The book fair will be held this week in the library. Parents can use the e-wallet feature to handle any purchases for their child so you don't have to send money. Here is the link: https://bookfairs.scholastic.com/content/fairs/how-ewallet-works.html?fairId=5428597 Thanks to the work of our Academic Boosters, the Mobile Agriculture Lab will again be visiting our school this week. Classes will be visiting the lab for experiments and activities. Just FYI: having the lab will reduce the amount of parking in the main office parking lot.

Some more pumpkin math! This time from Ms. Casto's class. The students explored the parts of a pumpkin, got to feel inside, and count all the seeds. Ms. Kim’s pumpkin won with the most seeds by having 755 seeds total!

Pumpkin Math and Science Exploration in Miss Neff’s kindergarten classroom! Students measured and weighed their pumpkins, gave them the sink or float test, and cut them open to count the seeds. #SchoolOfChampions #GoodThingsHappenHere
