Mrs. Holesapple's 3rd grade class learned about buoyancy today when they were challenged to construct a Mayflower ship that could be moved by wind and hold the most Pilgrims while still staying afloat.
Mrs. Holesapple's class would like to shout a huge thank you to Annie Whitten for providing our class with a taco bar for our fall party today!
Mrs. Exum's class would like to thank Chad Sisco and Paintmaster's Collision Repair for their sponsorship and donation which helped get The Comet Cafe started. We are so appreciative of their support. The students look forward to Thursdays and are learning so many important skills.
Congratulations to our Hoop Shoot winners. They will now compete at Thayer on Dec. 2nd. 8-9 girls- Aubree Orchard, 8-9 boys Weston Dotson, 10-11 boys Gabe Simmons, 12-13 girls Emma Cauthen, and 12-13 boys Jaxson Carner.
We already have a Hoop Shoot winner in the 12 and 13 boys age group, because they did theirs in class, so we will not do that age group today.
Reminder, Hoop Shoot is today at 4pm in the MPB.
In an attempt to encourage participation in the Accelerated Reader program, students have an opportunity to create a display showcasing their favorite book in the library windows.

Macoy would like to encourage kids to read Words on Fire and Paisley loves The Magic Tree House Buffalo Before Breakfast.
