Kindergartners put their five senses to work today with a hands-on apple tasting activity to go along with their Wit & Wisdom unit! Students sampled different colors and used descriptive adjectives to capture every sweet, tart, or crunchy bite. Ask your child which color was their favorite!

Let kids be kids a little longer Pledge to delay smartphones until at least the end of 8th grade

TAKE THE PLEDGE

Why Delay? To give kids more time to grow, connect, and be kids before taking on the pressures of smartphones and social media.
