(12/11) Our fourth graders had an incredible day on Wednesday! 🎶
They attended a performance by the Tupelo Golden Wave Orchestra, where students not only enjoyed beautiful music, but also got to explore a variety of instruments and hear the unique sounds each one makes.
After the performance, students enjoyed a picnic at Ballard Park, and had a blast playing on the new inclusive playground. 🌳✨ It was truly an amazing experience!
A huge thank you to the Tupelo Golden Wave Orchestra for welcoming our students, and giving them such a memorable opportunity! 🎻👏

(10/8) 🍎🍏 Apple Tasting Fun! 🍏🍎
As an extension to their study of apples, Mrs. Andrews’ and Mrs. Hodum’s classes became apple scientists! They explored three delicious kinds of apples — Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Pink Lady. Students used their senses to observe the color, texture, and taste of each apple, then compared their favorites by creating a picture chart to show their favorite apples.
