Learning That Sticks… and Crunches! 🥒 Our 7th grade Home & Careers students had a dill-lightful time yesterday making homemade refrigerator pickles in Ms. Laurel Becker’s class! They enjoyed the experience so much that they were even sipping the brine through the dill stems, which had Ms. Becker absolutely chuckling. It’s safe to say this lesson was a hit! Beyond the fun, this hands-on activity gave students the opportunity to: * Practice essential knife skills * Learn about growing their own food * Explore ways to support local farmers * Get a flavorful introduction to food preservation Moments like these remind us that some of the best learning happens when students are engaged, curious, and having a little fun along the way. Thank you to Ms. Becker for creating such meaningful and memorable experiences for our students!

Mountain Music! Our Music Appreciation students were treated to a performance by the East Tennessee State University Bluegrass Pride Band, and many other K-12 students and staff were able to join in to listen and clap along. Students learned about the origins of Bluegrass, American Folk music influences, Appalachian music, acoustic string instruments, and the various roles and dynamics a band has when they perform and improvise together. Special thanks to Music on the Delaware for offering this experience for our students and bringing the world inside the music room! If you or your child would like to see the ETSU Bluegrass Pride Band perform, attend their 7:30 performance this Saturday at Walton Theater! (see imagea for more info).
