Day of Giving Phase 3: Games, story time, and cookies with the elementary students.
With chilly weather brings indoor recess. Indoor recess calls for some creative play with "No Ends"...a fun building toy from the past!
I like to extend a big thank you to Sadie, Kylee, Sabrina, and Avani. As a part of the high school's day of giving, these amazing students helped me transform the elementary library loft into a mining town - reading center. The elementary kids will love reading in "historic Montana."
Day of Giving Phase 2: Service Projects: Fleece tie blankets for Marias Medical Center, musical performance at the Heritage Center, snowflakes for local businesses, cookies for elementary students, birdhouses for a bluebird trail, and helping with story hour at the library!
The former AP Chemistry students are testing locally made apple cider vinegar to determine if it is safe for use in pickling.
