Instead of having an Easter Egg this year, our 1st grade students held a food drive. For each item the students brought they received candy as a prize. The classroom that collected the most items earned a Popcorn & Peeps Party. Miss Fryman's class won the contest, as her students brought a total of 417 food items for the drive. As a group, all of our 1st grade class collected a total of 886 canned food items that will be donated. Congratulations to Miss Fryman's class and good job to all of our 1st grade students and teachers!!
Students in Mrs. Chavira's Life Skills class had fun yesterday morning as they tried their hands at decorating eggs. It looks like they did a great job!

Through our Bluebonnet curriculum, our kindergarten students have been studying weather.
