Every month Miss Fender's first graders get their Adopt-A-Calf update which tells them all about how cows grow and how we get dairy products. This month one of the activities was buttermilk. The class talked about the different stages: whipped cream, buttermilk, and butter. They first tried making butter with a mason jar but it broke, so the class shook cream in a bag. Eventually they had to mix the cream in the carton. They had a lot of fun and the kids loved the butter! They taste-tested their butter on crackers.
Our guidance counselor Miss Hall gave away gift cards to random students who made either honor roll if their name was drawn out of a bucket. Congratulations to these students and enjoy those treats!
Congratulations to our Clay City High School students who made the honor rolls or had perfect attendance during the 1st quarter! Way to go!

Tomorrow's Red Ribbon Week dress-up theme is WEAR YOUR HALLOWEEN COSTUME! Please remember no masks or weapons and to keep the costume school appropriate.
This week in Mr. Brummer's Astronomy class, students calculated how big the sun would be and the distance between the sun and the Earth if the Earth had a diameter of 1 centimeter. It turns out that the sun would have a diameter of about 1 meter and the distance between the sun and the Earth would be 351.5 feet! The students then created a scale model outside of the school. The blue dot represents the Earth. Finally, they took a picture standing on "Earth" of a student standing on the "sun". The student on the "sun" was so far away that they could barely be seen in the original photo, so the class cropped the photo to make sure the student was there.
Tomorrow's Red Ribbon Week dress-up theme is WEAR PAJAMAS!
SRO Phillips put smiles on faces in the lunchroom today! He was busy connecting with our students and handing out stickers!
