On Friday the elementary students read "How to Catch a Snowman" and "Snowmen At Night" that was acted out by our 5th grade students.
Students also made a snowman and snowflakes out of popsicle sticks.
Winners of a copy of the books are Brielle Esquibel, Paxton Friedly, Remi Slusser and Gemma Glosson.
On Wednesday, the winners of our local Creed Speaking traveled to Yuma to compete at Districts. Molly O'Neil placed 3rd and Kason Brent placed 4th.
Wesley Lewis and Sierra Brown gave extemporaneous speeches and Arhy Bethel presented her prepared speech. We also had a Parli Pro team that consisted of Caleb Poss, Kendal Zimmerman, Wesley Lewis, Kolton Strand and Arhy Bethel.
Congratulations to all FFA members who participated at Districts.
Last week, Morgan Zwirn, Licensed Counselor, talked to 6th-9th grade about the effects of screen time. More screen time is associated with higher anxiety and depression symptoms, and how it alters our brain and attention spans. She had students do an activity where they looked at the wall for one minute, talked to their friends for one minute, and then played on their phones for one minute. She didn't tell them how long she was timing them for, she just asked if it felt longer or shorter for each activity. Students noticed how easy it is to spend more time on their phone flipping through apps then it is to stare at the wall or even talk with friends.
