We want to send a huge thank-you to Seifer Farms Pasture Poultry for their generous donation of chicken — and more! Students learned how to break down a whole chicken, can it, and use the breasts to make delicious homemade chicken strips and nuggets. FCS wrapped up “chicken week” with a classic favorite: chicken and noodles (with homemade noodles, of course!).
Seifer Farms also donated cream, milk, and eggs for their ice-cream-making lesson — talk about farm-to-table learning! 🍨
We’re so grateful for community partners like Seifer Farms who make hands-on learning possible for our students!⚓️
From farming (with or without littles) to snack time and crafts, these Sailors have been all in—playing, learning, and laughing right alongside our tiniest learners. Safe to say… Mrs. Dye’s crew thinks they’re pretty awesome too! ⚓️
There was a time discrepancy in earlier communications regarding SHS Fall Activities Honors Night.
The correct time is 6:30 p.m. tomorrow, November 4th, in the South Gym.
We can’t wait to celebrate our Sailors and their fall season accomplishments! ⚓️
Let’s focus on making safe, smart, and healthy decisions. Wear orange and black or bring your school-appropriate Halloween costume to change into after lunch. 👻
Remember: we can have fun and be festive while making Really Excellent Decisions that keep us and others safe! 💛
