10/16 Friday Celebration: 3-5 Drawings

On Friday, Kindergarten visited 3 Bee Farms near Griswold, and had a great time learning about bees and pollination. This is a topic they will be exploring in their reading curriculum over the next few weeks, so it was wonderful to give the students a little preview and connect their learning to a real-life experience! Along with learning about bees, the class also got to explore a corn maze, enjoy a hayride, and play on the farm playground. What a fun day filled with learning, exploring, and making memories!

Last night we had a blast at our MATILDA-themed Literacy Night. Our One School One Book is revealed, we had fun stations, the families seemed to enjoy themselves, and we're SO beyond grateful to our guest presenters: Elk Horn Library, Iowa PBS, Sara Zimmerman & RJ Pasquale, and the Audubon Cattlemen who grilled up some delicious burgers! It was a night to remember!

I say One School, you say One Book. One School - One Book! One School - One Book! I say Literacy, you say Night. Literacy - Night! Literacy - Night! I say free stuff, you say Yes please! Free stuff - yes please! Free stuff - yes please!! 4:30- 6:30 tonight! See You Soon!!

On Friday (10/9) Christina talked to us about bats, spiders, and owls. We learned the different types of bats and which are native to our area. Then we got to see some dried bats. Then she got out her tarantula to show us. We were NOT allowed to touch it because people can be allergic to them, but she brought it around to show all of us up close. She also brought her owl for us to see. Then she let us feel some owl feathers from two different owls.

Conference Volleyball Schedule.

Our 9-12th grade students, 8th grade LEOs, and 8th grade FFA members had the opportunity to attend Meals For The Heartland today!

They helped Meals For The Heartland in their Annual Hunger Fight. Their goal this year is to package 1.75 million meals for families in need!

I am so proud to say that EEHK students lended a helping hand in this endeavor and to know that we are sprinkling kindness like confetti!
