Mock Election and Veteran's Day



Our class participated in a mock election on November 6. Mitt Romney won with 17 votes over Barack Obama with 6 votes. It was a fun experience for the students and they learned the basic concepts of voting.
Sherry Kennedy came to speak to the first grade and inform them about the military. They were given poagie bait, dog tags, camo bracelets, and a Veteran's Day worksheet. We appreciate her coming in to talk to the students. We also appreciate all of our veterans! Happy Veteran's Day!

Pumpkin Patch Trip

In October, we went to the McWilliams Pumpkin Patch outside of West Plains. We went on a train ride, played in the barn, did the animal maze, and went down the big slide. It was a beautiful day and we had a great time!
