Spotlight on Team Triumph




On May 2nd, Triumph went on a virtual field trip. We began our newest thematic unit, electricity, with an introduction and some experiments. Students learned about basic circuits, conductors, and energy sources. It was a fun and engaging lesson. 


Nutrition Fact of the Day from Nutrition.gov: 


Savor the flavor of seasonal vegetables! Buy vegetables that are in season for maximum flavor at a lower cost. Check your local supermarket specials for the best-in-season buys. Or visit your local farmer’s market.
