Miss Allie from the FRC visited our students today for an interactive hygiene lesson! Using Glow Germ and a black light, she showed just how effective proper hand washing can be compared to using sanitizer. Students were amazed to see the “germs” glow — a fun and eye-opening reminder about the best ways to stop the spread of germs! ✋✨🦠

👻✨ Mrs. Tyson’s class became scientists and artists during a fun science experiment this week! Students explored color and solubility through an engaging art process.
First, they created ghost-shaped crafts and added colorful pigments to the bottom edges. Then came the exciting part — dipping the ghosts into water! 💧 Students observed capillary action as the water carried the pigment upward, blending and softening the colors for a magical effect.
It was a perfect mix of science and creativity in action! 🎨🧪
