🌱 Farm to Table in Action! 🥬
Our Pre-K and Kindergarten students had a blast harvesting fresh lettuce from the tower garden! This incredible project was started by our talented Junior High Ag Class, who planted the lettuce before passing it on to the elementary students to enjoy throughout the school year.
It’s amazing to see the hands-on learning, collaboration, and healthy eating habits growing right here at Drayton School! 🍎💚
Thank you, Mr. Riddle and Ag students, for sharing your hard work and for showing us how food can bring all grades together! #GrowingTogether #FarmToSchool #FutureFarmers #BomberPride

PreK-2nd graders got a special treat when high school English students came to read with them. 📖
It was a Halloween full of smiles, spooky stories, and hands-on activities!

🔥 In October, our Pre-K and Kindergarten classes went on an exciting field trip as part of Fire Safety Month! During the trip, students learned valuable fire safety lessons, including:
Fire Exit Strategies: The importance of having a plan for how to safely exit their home in case of a fire.
Firefighter Tools and Gear: Students had the chance to look at various tools firefighters use and even try on some of their gear.
Sleeping with Doors Closed: They learned how closing doors while sleeping can help slow the spread of fire and smoke.
Smoke Detectors: The importance of having smoke detectors in every room of their home.
It was an informative and hands-on experience that helped reinforce the importance of fire safety in a fun and engaging way! 🚒
