💀 Why didn’t the skeleton go to the Halloween party?
– Because he had no-body to go with!

⚰️ How can you tell if a vampire has a cold?
– Because of the coffin!

On October 13, students in Mrs. Fair's Conservation class along with students in Mrs. Conway's ProStart class partnered up for a local cross-curricular educational opportunity. Students were able to learn fishing skills from hometown expert fisherman Tom Howland. He shared his knowledge, expertise, and his local pond and tackle to educate students about the sport of fishing. Topics of discussion included: types of fishing knots, types of bait and tackle, fishing techniques and locations, fishing technologies, the process of cleaning fish, the scholarship opportunities connected with bass fishing

and more. The fish students caught were cleaned and Tom also donated some of his personal fish for the students to cook. The following Monday, the students involved gathered in Mrs. Conway's classroom to learn the techniques of deep-frying fish. The ProStart students also made homemade potato chips and tartar sauce to have a fish and chips meal. We would like to thank Tom once again for this amazing educational opportunity.
