Amish Acres • 4 Comments

What a fieldtrip! Our fifth grade class enjoyed a wonderful day at Amish Acres. It began with a live performance of A CHRISTMAS CAROL by Charles Dickens, and was followed by a delicious Amish meal of: fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, corn, homemade bread with apple butter, cookies, and lemonade.

Our fifth grade students recently graduated from DARE (Drug Abuse Resistance Education). Officer Hassel led in 12 sessions, teaching students how to respond to difficult situations and to live a drug free life. Each student shared an essay with the class about the things they had learned and their personal commitment to stay free of drugs. Congratulations students and thank you Officer Hassel!
