Advanced floral design students spent the day delivering homecoming mums and garters to Life Skills students at Myatt, Hutchins, Northside, Middle School, and High School campuses. Making the projects is always fun, but delivering them is even better! It was a joyful day for everyone involved!

It was a Fun Neon Day for Homecoming Week!
At Hutchins, students and teachers were shining BRIGHT!
Meanwhile, at Northside, Mrs. Taylor’s 4th graders dove into a Homecoming Escape Room adventure! They read passages and tackled questions like pros to break free. And let me tell you, they had a blast glowing under those black lights!




200 first year floral design students in Mrs. Wilson and Mrs. Zahn’s classes constructed a 19 foot mega mum in honor of homecoming week. A special thanks to the Ag Mech students for cutting the 4ft plywood circle to make the top, the Derby Dolls for the pom poms, and Mr. Jeff Balcar and crew for getting it hung in the gym and then moving it to the football field for the game. It truly was a team effort and we have the best RICEBIRD team! Come see it in person on Friday at the 8:30 am pep rally! And, see behind the scene here: https://www.canva.com/design/DAGR3ajI7os/pS4I1Pw6_bafdIx-KrGRSA/watch?utm_content=DAGR3ajI7os&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link&utm_source=editor


A little Homecoming Week Fun...Tuesday was HOLIDAY-DAY!

After finishing the classic tale Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Ms. Molina's 3rd graders teamed up to analyze the characters and present their ideas to the class!











Ms.Treumer at Hutchins got some friends to sponsor her class to receive a new book each month this school year. The kids received their first book last week thanks to this month's sponsor, Terry Rab, a paraprofessional at Hutchins.
The students were so very excited to be able to take a book of their very own home to keep. They will now use this opportunity to learn about writing Thank You notes by sending one to the sponsor each month.
