A new branch of learning 🌲📝

Ms. Cochran's high school art classes fine-tuned their figure drawing skills earlier today. After working on sketches inside, her students took their talents to the courtyard.

It was a great way to continue learning while enjoying the outdoors! 🍂🍃

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!! 🥹🧡🖤
