Third graders in Ms. Southworth's class enjoyed spending time reading during Read Across America Week. Reading is one of the most fundamental skills a child can learn. Please read with your child and encourage them to read on their own. (Photos courtesy of Cassandra Southworth.)
Sophomore science students learned how to use a microscope in a lab this week. They looked at different parts of a hydrangea plant under the microscope and learned what the function of that part was by the way it looked under a microscope. (Photos courtesy of Robert Harris.)
