Name recognition and name writing is a very important part of Mrs. Derry's Preschool class. Here is one example of how we work on our names. Most mornings students practice writing their names with dry erase markers. Some students copy the letters while others have accomplished writing their first name and now are working on their last names.
Congrats Hunter, Garth, Dalton, and Riley!

On Monday, Andes Central FFA traveled to Mitchell to compete in their first LDE for the year. Marin, Emery, Madeline, and Callie competed in Agricultural Issues and their team got 4th place out of 7. Luke and Taylor also competed in Employment Skills & did well. Congrats AC FFA!
On Monday, Cory Greenwood & his team presented to Andes Central staff & students. He spoke with the MS/HS about suicide. Teens are struggling to find a sense of belonging. Now, more than ever, empowering and encouraging our youth to rise above their current circumstances is vitally important. Students left the assembly with a renewed self-image and the resilience to handle adversity. They will be empowered to take responsibility for the solution instead of focusing on the problem. He also spoke with Elementary students about kindness. Every student is unique and has gifts and talents that are valuable. Students will be challenged and empowered to use what they have to help those around them. To be the heroes in their classrooms, homes, friend groups, etc.
The 5th grade classes played a fun game of Kahoot to review the water cycle.
Students taking a break & enjoying some puzzle time!
