I believe today is the last day of Summer School, and I forgot to post these pictures from last week. I do one week with middle schoolers who want to come to Summer School, and we do FACS (Home Ec) related projects. The students made homemade butter and strawberry jam and then biscuits from the buttermilk. We also made DIY stress balls, learned to sew stitches and sew on buttons, and each student made a small handsewn pillow. We made tie-dye T-shirts and helped kindergarten students make tie-dye projects as well. The middle school learned about finances and budgeting by saving points to spend at our "company store". We enjoyed a snack of our own "s'mores" cones and spent one morning at the West Plains pool with the elementary-age children and their teachers. It was an enjoyable, packed week!
Free Athletic physicals will be in the Jerry Taylor Gymnasium on Friday, July 12 from 2-5 PM.
Middle school students in summer school went to the greenhouse today. They learned how to take cuttings from Wandering Jew plants and transplant them into hanging baskets. Doing this now will give the plants ample amount of time to fill out before our annual plant sale next spring.
Anyone who did not get their District Baseball t-shirts, we will have someone here at school Wednesday, May 29 for pick up.
If you didn't get to order, and would still like to, please reach out to Christina Green on FB Messenger and she will take care of you!
Thank you all for your patience and supporting the Bakersfield Lion Baseball Team!
