Voyagers Wetlands Work
The Voyagers went out and did more clearing work on their trails through the school wetlands on Wednesday September 23rd. Everyone who worked on the trails wore rubber boots, work gloves and long pants and sleeves to protect themselves. Garden sheers, loppers, saws and weed whackers were utilized to make a pathway. Other students remained in the classroom to research wetlands information and organize educational signs for the new routes.
Pictures of one trail crew making a path, and of another crew removing a tire they found while working in the wetlands.

Happenings in Family and Consumer Science
Farm to school activities have been in full swing all this week! Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Lamb have enjoyed working with students from many communities to prepare several food items for last night's Open House including delicious spaghetti sauce, crab apple muffins, pumpkin muffins and even canned dill pickles! Both teachers would like to thank all of the hard working students whose efforts helped make all food preparations such a big success.
