Drayton Public School 19

A great day of learning beyond the classroom for our Pre-K and 3rd grade students! 🚌🍎 Students had the opportunity to go behind the scenes at Hugo’s in Grafton, where they learned about healthy food choices and how a grocery store operates. From exploring different departments to making connections about what fuels our bodies, it was such a valuable experience! We wrapped up the day at Kid’s Alley, where students put those healthy habits into action—playing, moving, and having so much fun together. 💪🎉 Hands-on learning + movement + smiles = a pretty great day! 😊

🦋 Butterfly Lifecycle Studies in Miss Stevens’ First Grade! 🦋 Miss Stevens’ first graders have been busy scientists over the past few weeks as they explored the amazing lifecycle of a butterfly! The students began their project with tiny caterpillars and showed wonderful care and responsibility as they watched them grow and change. They carefully observed each stage as the caterpillars formed their chrysalises and patiently waited for the incredible transformation into butterflies. Today marked a special moment as the class released their very last butterfly into the world! 🦋✨ It was a joyful celebration of learning, patience, and the wonders of nature! 🌿💛

Students from Mr. Riddle’s Ag class partnered with our Pre-K students for a hands-on planting lesson as part of their seed study. The Ag students took the lead in planning and guiding the activities, creating a meaningful learning experience for everyone involved. Our Pre-K students colored their own “homes” and planted grass to grow a yard, while also working together to plant flowers in the planter box that Ag students built for the school a few years ago. 🌸 This was a great opportunity for our Ag students to step into leadership roles and for our youngest learners to explore through hands-on experiences! 🪴

Finally, the Titan JH Tracksters were able to have an outdoor. The wind became brutal, and ushered in biting cold temperatures after what started as a warm day. Titans did a great job and found success in the harsh elements, we are very proud of you all!!

Good Luck Jeremiah!
