🎃 Halloween at Drayton School was packed with fun and learning! 🥕 To celebrate Farm to School Month, we started the day off with the USDA Mountain Plains Crunch Off, crunching into carrots and locally grown sugar beets. Our younger students then listened to Creepy Carrots read by Mrs. Lee. A few creepy carrots and ghosts were later spotted around school! 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! 🚒

🗓️ Mark your calendars for our fall parent teacher conferences! We look forward to connecting with all of our students' families!
