SCHOOL NEWS

What: A fun day for all 3rd-5th graders to promote healthy lifestyle choices while learning about the relationships between agriculture, food and health.

When: We will have six rotations through 9 exhibits for all the classes on Monday, Nov. 25 starting at 8:00am and going until 2:45pm in the ELEMENTARY gym.

Volunteers: All the materials are provided and the sessions are easy to facilitate. The sessions last about 10 minutes and will only have 8-9 students per session. There will be an hour break for lunch.

We will need some helpers for morning, afternoon or all day and help with the breakdown of the exhibit at the end of the day.

Please reply or reach out to Mrs. Keel if you can help. Thank you!
