🧲In Mrs. Weigele’s 4th grade science classes, students are investigating magnetism. The hands-on exploration tested twelve different types of items to see which of them were magnetic. The students worked hard to test their hypotheses and record their findings.📝 #SFCS

✨Our PreK students enjoyed some fresh air this morning when they placed food around campus for our wildlife to enjoy. The children learned about the different types of tracks that squirrel and deer leave behind. Our youngest students are so full of wonder and joy!🐿️🦌 #SFCS

✨On Friday, our Middle School Advisory groups met with Dr. Macaluso. She delivered an engaging presentation called, “ The Power of Food”. She explored the important role nutrition plays in supporting our students’ physical health, energy, focus, and overall well-being. The children learned how to read food labels to gain a better understanding on how to make informed food choices. They learned how small, healthy habits can make a positive impact in their lives. Our 6th, 7th and 8th graders came away with great strategies to make healthy choices!🍎#SFCS
