Mrs. Martin’s Life Span and Development class visited UAPB Child Development Center. The class volunteered and observed toddlers and preschoolers. Our very own Khamani Cooper connected with his preschool teacher, Ms. Candi Gibson while visiting the center. He is now a graduating senior. The students could not leave without riding bikes and running around the playground.
We are excited to announce that Mrs. Cobb will be leading a group of Watson Chapel High School students on a WorldStrides program to Iceland. On this once-in-a-lifetime adventure, students will explore this majestic land of fire and ice, walk in the footsteps of Vikings, see amazing waterfalls, and walk on glaciers all while experiencing incomparable learning moments. This will be a trip that your child will be talking about for years to come!

So we had an extra serving cart, and I asked Sarah Rucker (cafe manager at Edgewood) if she could use it. I love that she said yes :) She has now set up a salad bar for adults to fix their own salads. We love our teachers and staff and its so great that we could expand our options to them as well.
