 In the activity, Science Fruit or Vegetable, 3rd grade students examined common grocery produce and predicted if each item is a science fruit or science vegetable. Then they took a closer look at slices of the produce and searched for seeds.

Elementary Parents: Please remember today, September 30, was the last day for students to wear shorts to school. As per school policy, shorts are only to be worn during the months of August, September, and May. Thank you!
