First graders learned about the planets and solar system last week (Standard 1.ESS). On Friday, they concluded their expedition with some hands-on learning about the planets during their Space-themed party. A special thank you to Mrs. Watson for the fun and engaging lessons!



Last week Mrs. Tate submitted 6 FFA proficiency awards. A proficiency award is based on the student's Supervised Agriculture Experience (SAE project). Two students placed in the top three in their categories. While this does not qualify them for state, we are so proud of them for their hard work; there were a lot of submissions in these areas.
Cailey Boyd: 3rd in Beef Entrepreneurship
Briar Wallen: 2nd in Outdoor Recreation
Cailey's State Degree was also submitted for review at the state level and she should hear in the next couple weeks if she will be receiving her state degree at State FFA Convention in April.
This is just the start to the FFA spring contest season, so we are full steam ahead with contests!
