Somerville FFA 🤝 Ms. Mince's 4th graders

Several club officers from the high school program visited the elementary school to read Christmas stories to some of our younger Yeguas 📖🎄

After getting through their books, they joined the class with several holiday-themed arts and craft projects 🧡🖤 #YeguasHelpingYeguas

Spreading Christmas CHEER!! ❤️💚

At lunch today, our Intermediate School's Student Council delivered the 150 candygrams they sold in recent weeks 🍬 They even got some help from a Yegua Santa! 🎅

The student council is very appreciative of everyone who supported their candygram sales, which will help fund various events next semester! 🧡🖤 They also had the chance to celebrate yesterday with a pizza party for lunch 🍕

Practice makes perfect... hygiene in this case!! 🫧🧼

Students from our Principles of Health Science class helped some of our 4th graders stay safe from germs 🦠❌

Our kids participating applied harmless Glo Germ dye to their hands during a demonstration on Monday. Under a black light, students could see what happened to their "germs" before and after proper handwashing.

On top of learning an excellent lesson, we LOVE seeing Yeguas helping Yeguas!! 🥹🧡🖤

Our 3rd graders are THANKFUL!! 🧡🖤

During today's lunch period, students each wrote down a few things they are most thankful for in their lives. Then, they took turns sharing with their classmates what they had written.
