On May 22nd, baseball and softball teams will make up the missed game with MDES/Trenton in a doubleheader. The first of the 2 - 5 inning games will begin at 2:45pm. The 3rd inning will be treated like the 5th inning in a full game, with the run rule in effect to make sure we have time for both games. It should be a fun and sporty night.
On May 25th, the baseball team will NOT be playing Surry, as previously scheduled. So far, we have not been able to find a make-up date for this game. The softball team will still go to Surry as planned on May 25th.
Mr. Kyle Snow and student volunteers are tending our flags daily!

The following students were the classroom winner of the Modern Woodman Speech Contest:
THANK YOU, EVERYONE, FOR THE DONATIONS OF FOOD FOR THE HANCOCK COUNTY FOOD DRIVE.
In the 5th Grade, the kids got an extra minute of recess for every two items of food they brought in! They had fun stockpiling it in their classroom and then bringing it down all at once to finish filling the boat!
The third and fourth grade students learned the question a local entomologist is asking about bees. Do the number of bees or type of bees change the amount of fruit produced in local blueberry fields? Mrs. Bushmann shared her hypothesis, the materials she uses, and the procedure she is following to answer this question. She shared some bee samples under the microscope, too. The fourth graders loved the bumblebee!
Mrs. Haldane visited fourth grade and read a book about camels. She brought a real camel saddle and told us what it is really like to have a ride on a camel. She also shared some camel adaptations. Did you know that camels have long eyelashes to protect them from the sun and sand? Camels have some surprising adaptations: big wide feet, an extra thin eyelid that they can see through, a cavity in their head to trap moisture, short thick fur, the ability to shut their nostrils, and of course the infamous hump on their back.
