Dr. Smith visit with Preschool



Our preschool classes had a special guest last week.  Dr. Mary Beth Smith took time out of her busy schedule to come talk with our students about staying healthy and all the cool things you gt to do when you visit the doctor!  She set up stations around the O.S. where the students could rotate and hear their heart and check their pulse, etc.  It was a fun learning day!

What Do You Do With an Idea?


We had two very special guest on campus today reading to our children and telling them all about The Big Idea! Mayor Edward Reynolds visited Mrs. Smith's 1st Grade class and Dana Bryant visited Mrs. Ragan's K5 class. 

They introduced the students to their friend - The Big Idea and read to them "What Do You Do With an Idea?"  

Many thanks to Mr. Reynolds and Mrs. Bryant for taking time out of their busy schedules to visit our students and encourage them to nurture and love their own ideas .... their idea might just change the world!
