Mrs. Witkowski's Grade 2 Science class was buzzing yesterday! Students constructed bees out of fuzzy materials like pom poms or cotton balls to mimic a real bee's anatomy, then tested how well the bees they made were able to transfer pollen from one flower to another. Bees are a vital part of our ecosystem because of their impact on pollination! #EarthDay #savethebees
We couldn't let this day go by without wishing a very happy Administrative Professionals Day to our own Mrs. Margaret Terrill! Mrs. Terrill is the one who answers the phones, and your ring at the doorbell. She problem solves, organizes, multi-tasks, and lends a helping hand and listening ear. You might even hear her on the afternoon announcements once in awhile! She brings her cheery personality and compassionate attitude to our front desk, and in turn our whole school. We are so blessed to have you Mrs. Terrill, thank you for all you do in your many roles in our school and parish!
