🐮 Meet our newest (and cutest) classmate! 🌾
Our Art/Ag class just "adopted" a calf through Discover Dairy’s Adopt a Cow program! Over the next few months, we’ll be following her growth, learning all about dairy farming, and seeing where our food comes from. She is a Holstein dairy cow, and her name is Waffle Fry. She is from the Big Sandy Creek Dairy Farm in Madison, Georgia. We are excited to watch her grow, stay tuned for updates!!!

🎃 What a gourd-geous day in Kindergarten! 🎃
Our little scientists rolled up their sleeves for a hands-on pumpkin exploration Friday! We learned all about the parts of a pumpkin—from the stem and skin to the gooey pulp and seeds inside.
The best part? Scooping out all that squishy filling and carving our pumpkin! To cap off our messy, fun-filled lesson, everyone enjoyed delicious pumpkin cookies and pumpkin cake for snack time. 🍪🍰
Ask your kindergartener tonight what their favorite part of the pumpkin was!

🧼✨ Clean Hands, Happy Kids! ✨🧼
Our Crooked River Elementary school nurse, Hailey Nocera and assistant nurse, Hannah W. paid a special visit to our kindergarten classrooms to teach our littlest learners the power of proper handwashing!
To show how soap really works, they conducted the classic "pepper and soap" science experiment. When floating pepper (representing sneaky germs) met a drop of Dawn dishwashing detergent, the kids watched in awe as the "germs" instantly scattered to the edges of the bowl! 🧪💨
Key takeaways our kindergarteners practiced today:
Wet hands with clean, running water.
Lather up with soap on the fronts, backs, and between fingers.
Scrub for at least 20 seconds (singing Happy Birthday twice!).
Rinse and dry thoroughly with a clean paper towel.
Thank you to our amazing health team for making learning about health and hygiene so engaging and fun! Keep those hands sparkling, CRE SDolphins!💧
