Thank you to the Hartman family for taking time to bring in some of their honeybees to show the class. The plexiglass hive allowed students to see all sorts of activity. We spotted the queen laying eggs, a bee hatching, several drone cells, and a queen cell forming.

The week of April 15th, Ainsley McConnell took a count of how many people drove to school using their seatbelts, with Audrey Holm's help. Here are the results: 33 cars were surveyed, the occupants in 22 cars were wearing their seatbelts and the remaining cars were not. For the individuals in the cars a total of 50 people were surveyed with 31 of them wearing their seatbelts. This week during our morning announcements we are learning more about seatbelt safety. Thank you Ainsley for raising our awareness regarding seatbelt use.
