Then friendly Old Orchard Service League parents show up, spread a little love ... and suddenly it feels a few degrees cooler, everything a bit more manageable. Just what we needed, guys, thanks!

We fanned out to deliver yard signs & thanks to the faculty and staff. It was so fabulous to see people in person and say how much we appreciate the hard work they’ve put into our Distance Learning Program. We’re nearly across the finish line for 2019-2020, and we really did do this together!

Not only do they teach our students lots about our ecosystem and the critters it supports, students have also learned that they need to plant their lettuce in taller beds.

If you are fortunate to have the day off, we encourage you to do a little (or big) something to brighten your community - if you do, please share below! Our First Grade students hope you enjoy their portraits of Dr. King delivering his seminal I have a Dream speech at the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. The students also wrote and delivered their own Dream-inspired speeches last week. (The portraits and speeches are part of a broader Civil Rights unit First Grade starts at the beginning of every new year. So much credit is due to the partnership of First Grade Teacher Jenny Crotty, and Art Teacher Russell Powell.

Mystery Doug is well known in student circles for his online chats with classes in which he fields all kinds of questions. With GR2, he talked about California’s largest trees, and showed students a Sugar Pine pine cone, the largest of all pines. He also fielded questions and demonstrated the effects of inhaling Sulfur hexafluoride, SF6, which has the opposite effect of helium - a deep voice. (Why? Because sound moves more slowly through heavy gases like SF6. And, um, yes, we knew that.) Many thanks to @MysteryDougVideo and #mysteryscience
