Today Mrs Barbeau’s Kindergarten class celebrated all things apple! We tasted and graphed our favorite type of apple (Granny Smith was the winner), learned the life cycle of an apple, predicted if apples sink or float, and tasted all of the apple fixins’. It was “apple-solutely” awesome!

Good Afternoon,
I just got a call from the high school that the games scheduled to be played on the turf have to be canceled. Since we no longer can play at the high school, we will be playing the games at our Stookey Fields again. Buses will pick Emge and Signal Hill students up and take to the Stookey Fields.
