Building Update:

The following pictures were taken on August 14, 2007.  Keep driving by to check out the progress.

Ground was broken on May 8, 2007 for our new building!  The new structure will include a much larger classroom for the Elementary program and all-day program, as well as better office and meeting space.  Our all-day classroom will move into the new building also.

Mammoth Cave Trip Photos

The 2nd, 3rd and 4th graders took their first overnight trip to Mammoth Cave, KY the weekend of April 28th.  We slept in a cabin and took two tours of Mammoth Cave - the longest known cave system in the world!

Here are some photos from our trip:

The Chicks are Here!

In April, Mrs. Berdick's and Ms. Searcy's classes embarked on a very special project:  hatching chicken eggs.

Each classroom had its own incubator with eggs.  After approximately 21 days, Mrs. Berdick's class was the first to hear the "peep, peep" of a newly hatched chick.  Between both classes, we ended up with four fluffy, yellow baby chicks!  The chicks stayed with us for four days, during which time they visited all the classrooms.  Then they went to live out their lives as farm pets.
