Today we were blessed to have our third grade students lead chapel. They truly did an amazing job, and I was so proud of them! They showed how scriptures in the Bible also appear in songs we sing in chapel, Sunday School, and church. All the third grade students had memorized their scriptures and songs. Thank you, third grade parents, for attending! You all should be very proud of your children's efforts and the Christ-like attitudes they showed while leading today. There are pictures under the "EAGLE NEWS" tab. Next week, we will have an all school chapel. Be sure to check the "Chapel Speaker" link to see who is coming to visit us next!

Our first graders went to the Walden Pumpkin Farm on Thursday. They learned about how pumpkins grow on the farm and were able to pick a pumpkin to take home. They interacted with several farm animals and learned interesting facts about them. They found their way through both a corn maze and a hay maze. Students pumped water from an old-fashioned pump and saw an enormous prize- winning pumpkin that weighed over 1,000 pounds! Lastly, students enjoyed a hay ride and lunch in the cabin. (See more pictures take a look under "EAGLE NEWS" tab) You will also find some pumpkin carving pictures too!
**Mrs. Speck asks that 4th graders bring in a picture of themselves for their PPT presentations. This can be a picture by themselves, with their pet, in a ball uniform, when they were a baby, or any other picture .
