We have baby chicks! Our students have been anxiously waiting for them to hatch.
Spring Fling was a HUGE success and we couldn’t have done it without the parents, staff, and amazing community members! I think it’s safe to say the kids had a blast! 💜💙
As part of Kindergarten's ABC Countdown, they had some fun with eXtra special people! Everyone enjoyed relay races, playing with the parachute, blowing bubbles, bowling, sack races, and so much more.
Congratulations to our Teacher of the Year, Mrs. Ashbaugh, and our Service Personnel of the Year, Mr. Kensinger! Both were celebrated at the annual banquet honoring the county's best. We're so lucky to have you both!
Our 5th grade students are learning all about the growing process of chicks through the WVU Extension Services Program. They were able to candle one of their eggs they are raising to see how the chick is developing. Then for fun, they did an egg drop challenge.
Mrs. Hanson's class created biodegradable recycled paper seed pods as an Earth Day activity in Ms. Hannah's art classroom. The students can't wait to see them bloom.
Mrs. Blue's first grade class created habitat dioramas as their culminating activity in CKLA. The students then presented their diorama to the class. Take a look at all their hard work!
Join us for our annual Spring Fling! We're still accepting donations for raffle items, as well as things for classroom baskets. We can't wait to see you there! 💜💙

#TGIF! T.A. Lowery Elementary students know which side their bread is buttered - literally! This week, they wrapped up their CKLA unit on farms and the products we get from them with a delicious treat. First, they discussed how common farm animals like chickens, sheep, pigs and cows provide us with nutritious dairy and meat products, while crops such as wheat are harvested for grain and turned into flour. Then they applied their knowledge by making homemade bread in a jar and the butter to go on it. Yum! 😋
