Ms. Gmeiner's DK class celebrated the end of their seeds and plants unit with a fruit and veggie tasting on Friday! Students tried everything from tomatoes (not a favorite), to mango, to kiwi, to broccoli. They loved being brave and trying new things, and using all of their senses.

Thank you to State Representative Brad Paquette for being our guest reader today at Merritt Elementary for March is Reading Month!

Brandywine Elementary had a dress up day on Friday as part of March is Reading Month! They were to dress up like an idiom or a word with a silent letter.

We had: smart cookie, green thumb, elephant in the room, and chip on my shoulder.
