Day 2 of the FCCLA State Leadership Conference is here and we are READY! Yesterday, Connor and Anthony kicked things off by presenting their Food Innovations Project—what an awesome start to the conference! Today is a BIG day for our chapter with so many students stepping up to present their hard work: • Kolee and Brianna – Focus on Children • Emma – Repurpose and Redesign • Madi – Chapter Service Project Display (and delivering donations to the Ronald McDonald House ❤️) • Thomas and Trae – National Programs in Action • Taylor – Focus on Children • Addison – Career Investigation • Jolene – Professional Presentation (after qualifying at Regions!) We are so proud of each of them for representing our chapter with confidence, creativity, and leadership. Students will also be attending workshops throughout the day to build new skills, meet other members, and grow as leaders. This morning, all groups will find out how they scored—so stay tuned! Good luck to all of our members today… we are cheering you on every step of the way!

Preschool has been doing a project all about plants! They started by investigating seeds from different fruits and vegetables. They compared the seeds with grass seeds, planted the seeds and made little houses with them. They have been checking their houses and this week they saw the grass has grown so much! Next week they will get to cut their grass and will have a special plant expert do a fun project with flowers!

Third grade received their donut treat from Madi Burma yesterday for collecting the most pop tabs during the pop tab war for her FCCLA Ronald McDonald House project. Way to go third grade!!!!

Preschoolers turned the classroom into a campground today!

They went on a nature hike and used their senses to understand the beautiful outdoors, they were explorers, photographers, capturing the world around us!

The kids worked together and built their own fire, they talked through ideas, came up with a plan, problem solved, they even decided to use a light inside to make it feel more real.

They gathered sticks for s’mores, sang camping songs and even got to sleep in the tent “under the stars” at naptime!

They wrapped up the day with a cute tent and campfire food craft.

Yesterday, kindergarten and first graders picked up trash around the school in observance of Earth Day.

Kindergarten has been learning about aviation, the Wright Brothers and Amelia Earhart. On Thursday, they created their own paper airplane and got to take them on a few test flights!

Beadle County Conservation District visited the 3rd grade class on Tuesday. They learned about Arbor Day, each received a tree and learned how to plant them.
