Our elementary students have been having a lot of fun in Ms. Betsy’s STEM class. This last few months we have learned about predicting the weather with nature and played with snow.

When our STEM classes cut open persimmon seeds, they saw a spoon shape in the seed. This is typically indicative of a heavy snow, hard winter.

They also used woolly bear caterpillars to make predictions. The were mostly solid black which could also indicate a hash winter.

We are excited to see if our weather predictions come true.

Our CPA ART Show will be rescheduled for Tuesday, February 17. This does not mean the school days have been canceled but we want to prepare ahead of time in anticipation of this weather event.

A posting about school closures, if they arise, will come as the weather settles in this weekend.
