D.A.R.E. Graduates at the May 16 D.A.R.E. Picnic with High School role models and Retro Bill

D.A.R.E. Picnic
Our MIS fifth graders joined D.A.R.E. graduates from all Hancock County schools at Greenfield-Central High School for the annual D.A.R.E. picnic on Friday, May 16. Students saw demonstrations from local fire and police representatives, listened to motivational speaker Retro Bill, and participated in the annual D.A.R.E. tug-of-war tournament.     (Clips from Retro Bill's Safety Tips)

This Week's Science
This week in science will feature a review over important learning from this year. Well review our work on variables, life cycles and food webs, skeletal and digestive systems, reading nutrition labels, and mixtures/solutions. On Tuesday, May 27 students will have a test over this week's science review lessons. Listening to and participating actively in the review lessons this week will make the test simple. Since we just completed a test on astronomy, that area won't be covered on the review test.
