🚜🎨 History Came to Life for Our 3rd & 4th Graders! 🎨🚜

Our 3rd and 4th grade students had an unforgettable trip to the Fenimore Farm & Country Village in Cooperstown!

Students stepped back in time as they explored the history of farming, blacksmithing, and early medicine, gaining a hands-on understanding of how people lived and worked in the past. 🔨🌾

They also tapped into their creative side with a fun “reverse painting” activity—proving that history and art make a great team! 🎨✨

⛳🏫 Golfing Into Great Learning! 🏫⛳

Last week in PE, our students had the chance to try something a little different—golf instruction! From learning proper grip and stance to practicing their swings, students showed focus, patience, and plenty of determination.

It was great to see everyone stepping out of their comfort zones, encouraging one another, and celebrating each improvement along the way. Who knows… we may have a few future golfers in the making!

A big thank you to everyone who helped make this experience possible. Learning new skills like this is what makes PE so much fun! 🏌️‍♂️✨
