3rd Grade Goes to the Pink Palace
Third graders enjoyed a day at the Pink Palace Museum recently. They got to grind corn, learn how Native Americans hunted, and much more!
Middle School Crane Mobile
Students show the crane mobile hanging in the center area during CLB. The mobile, containing a 24 origami paper cranes suspended from an ultralight plane, was a project put together by students who are reading the nonfiction book Whoop Dreams by Jane Duden. Learning about reintroduction of whooping crane migration to the eastern part of the country, each student is tracking a particular crane as it reaches its winter home in Florida and then returns to Wisconsin's Necedah Wildlife Refuge in the spring. The cranes are scheduled to fly through through Tennessee, making stops in Carol and Hardin Counties toward the end of this month, and anyone can follow their progress on the Operation Migration or Journey North websites.

4th & 5th Grade Field Trip
Fourth and fifth graders attended the Battle of Collierville Reenactment School Day at Piperton Hills Ranch.
Students were guided around the encampment by experienced Civil War soldier historians and stopped at each of ten “stations.” There were presentations by cavalrymen with their horses, union and confederate infantry, cannon-firing by the artillery, medical “surgery” by the Civil War doctor, visits to the displaced ladies and children in a refugee camp, music by an authentic Civil War band and much more.
