Students in Vikki Boersma’s third-grade classroom spent the year cooking up fun while learning valuable life skills, thanks to a special group of volunteers affectionately known as the “OGs” — the “Original Gamers.”
The south parking lot at Thornapple Kellogg High School is usually reserved for buses, trucks and cars. But today, cows, pigs, goats, horses and other livestock took over a small portion of the lot for the annual FFA petting zoo. High school students shared their knowledge of their chickens, rabbits, ducks, calves, lambs, and yes - even yaks!
With a wave from the shore, third graders said good-bye this week to the Chinook salmon they have been raising in their classroom since late fall. “Swim fast,” was one students’ advice to his fish as his third-grade teacher carefully dipped the cup holding the fish into the water, letting the salmon swim away. Others offered, “Don’t get eaten,” “Don’t die,” “Enjoy the water,” and even one offering “Catch you later.”
Lee is an ambitious and exciting school for our second and third graders. Our staff at Lee is dedicated to providing quality education to all students, guiding them through their early development and monitoring their continued progress in all subject areas. We make learning fun and give students opportunities to be successful in a variety of ways. Through our Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports, we celebrate success and positive behaviors to build a safe and caring environment for all. Our teachers strive to help students grow both academically and emotionally.
We're glad you're here! We welcome volunteers so please stop in and see us soon!
