Did you know that “down under” in Australia they refer to cantaloupe as “ROCKMELON”? Makes sense – they kind of do look like rocks.

A normally sized cantaloupe contains just 100 calories. Who knew something so sweet could be good for you? REFERENCE

PICTURES AND REPORTS



WALKING WEDNESDAY RESULTS AND CONTEST INFORMATION
Team Triumph had a huge turnout for the fifth week in a row. Every week they have had at least ten students more than any other team walk or bike to school. This means they have won 1-hour of pool party time on June 19th. Congratulations go to Triumph for a very committed whole-team effort.
Here Triumph was at the beginning of the walking challenge. They were the Walking Wednesday leaders then, remained so throughout the contest and became the overall contest winners Wednesday 5-30-2018.


Messenger Street/Newton Street Group Followed with the School Drone




PLANTING GARDENS FOR FALL HARVESTS

Many kindergarten classrooms have arranged time with Mrs. Smith to plant small garden beds for the Fall. This group is from Mrs. Walsh's classroom and they planted celery. Wednesday's weather, and the completion of testing last week, made it a prime day to do some farm work.








TRASH REMOVAL
Two students went around the walking path and picked up a ton of garbage. They did a really great job using their own free time to help the earth!  This is all of the trash collected! 










DREAMERS
Ms. Gleason's Pre-K students had an opportunity to ride tricycles in the large gym on Wednesday 5-30-2018. They clearly enjoyed the experience.  LINK TO 17 PICTURES
