Pre-k has been studying apples this week. We learned how apples grow on trees and ate apples that are grown here in Southern Illinois! We tried red, green, and yellow apples and decided which one we like best and learned what their names were! We also learned about Johnny Appleseed and made homemade applesauce!! #elevate38

Joppa Alumni, Ava Stephens, came to talk to the 8th Grade Career Exploration class about being in the EMS field. The students listened intently and were very excited to see what Ava has been up to.
