A tan thank you flyer featuring multiple photos and centered text recognizing Adairsville Coffee Company. Near the top center is a photo of a small storefront building labeled “Coffee,” with outdoor seating visible.

Second-grade students participated in a field trip to the Bartow County Recycling Center and the Bartow County Landfill. At one point, the classes were standing on 100 feet of compounded trash. Students were able to see common household items including plastic cutlery and lunch trays like the ones that are used at PLES. This field trip was part of the year-long focus on recycling.

Traffic jam! Students from Mrs. Gilbert's class worked on coding and robotics during Mrs. Allen's computer class. Each student used a Marty the Robot to move a Hess truck without to touching the truck. Mrs. Allen teaches STEM through coding and robotics in order to help students build 21st-Century skills for a successful future.

News from the Learning Log: Students in K-5 visited the Learning Log to read If Picasso painted a Snowman by Amy & Greg Newbold as part of a collaboration with Mrs. Johns' Art classes. After reading the story, students tore a die cut paper snowman that represented the water cycle, and rearranged the pieces (snow) to form another snowman. In art, students are drawing chickens (K-2) or Killdeer (3-5) in the artistic style of Van Gogh, Seurat, or Liechtenstein.
