PICTURES AND REPORTS STEWARDSHIP WALKING WEDNESDAY Rain fell before the Stewardship Day walk and ended just before hundreds of students and staff members trekked to school. In spite of the clouds people seemed in good spirits. Thanks to all the teachers, volunteers, parents and older students who helped shepherd the mass of young students to school on our seven "walking school buses". There were almost no bus riders and fewer family vehicles bringing students to school this morning. LINK TO 10 PICTURES Here is our parking lot at 7:05 AM on Stewardship Day. Usua,lly it is quite full. STEWARDSHIP PRESENTATIONS IN THE LARGE GYM All our students did a commendable job presenting to the whole school yesterday. Thanks to all the presenters and the teamwork that made their presentations possible. A few pictures from the event are shown below.   Here is a fun although an incomplete clip of the rainstorm made by younger students after the older students had filed out for the whole-school picture. LINK TO VIDEO WHOLE-SCHOOL PICTURE Everyone assembled outside the school at the front entrance for the annual whole-school picture. We were lucky that the pavement was dry enough to sit on thanks to Mr. Pelkey. Thank you, students and staff, for working with the photographers to make this picture happen smoothly. 6-6-2018 STEWARDSHIP DAY LUNCH PICTURES These are a sampling of the locavore lunch pictures taken. Local chicken, potatoes and icecream. Delicious. LINK TO 36 PICTURES VISITING THE WETLANDS ON STEWARDSHIP DAY A half dozen learning communities were guided through the wetlands by Voyagers students. Although the weather was a bit gray it was beautiful out there. Here are a few photos of what it looked like from above.
