3rd, 4th, and 5th graders visited the fiction cafe during reading today where they explored a menu containing the many types of fiction. Students had three courses where they could order a different type of fiction to “taste” during each course! It's a great day to be a Yellowjacket!

NHS Members! Need help with your scholarship or your online account? Mrs. Handley is available after school today until 5PM!
Last week our 6th and 8th grade science classes were calculating speed with their own hot wheel races. Using the 5 different tracks Mrs. Powell laid out, each group had to measure the distance, use a stopwatch to time the car, and then use their speed equations to figure out who had the fastest car. Speed = distance/time. Way to go junior high science!
Elementary Thanksgiving Lunch! Please see image for details.
