On Tuesday we had the Spring Orchestra and Band Concert.
The 4th and 5th graders were directed by Mrs. Bogue, Mrs. Hakeman, and Mr. Anderson. They sounded fantastic!
Intermediate students choreographed, practiced, and performed their own dances using a $15 budget.
This lesson allowed them to use their Math Smart, People Smart, and Body Smart skills.
These EFA+ students volunteered with It Takes a Village building hygiene kits, post partum kits, and new home kits for women in the community.
Spring is here and another planting season with IronFox Farm is getting started!
