This year, our school has partnered with The Ben Osborn Memorial Fund! Each month, a retired Fort Ann teacher visits our kindergarten classrooms, reads a story to the class, and each student goes home with a book donated by the Ben Osborn Memorial Fund!
In addition to reading, retired Fort Ann teacher Karen Ballard has also been able to share her experiences and teach some lessons. Last month, she discussed her trip to California with the class and taught the students about different animals. This month, the students learned a Valentine's movement activity!
Thank you to the Ben Osborn Memorial Fund and Mrs. Ballard!

Mrs. Soprano’s class learned about Inca suspension bridges and how advanced their engineering was! Then students designed and built their own mini suspension bridges using string and popsicle sticks. Results varied, but everyone agreed that bridge building is harder than it looks!
Chef Matthew Young, CTE Culinary Arts Teacher at WSWHE BOCES, and professional photographer, Erica Woodward, visited with our fourth graders for our fifth career exploration day!

Mrs. Woodward gave the students hands-on photography lessons and let them take photos of each other! Thank you to Ms. LaVine for organizing this event!
