The second graders had a blast yesterday at Gooseneck in Harvey! They toured the store, checked out machinery, and asked tons of questions. They even got to munch on popcorn while watching a farm safety video. The pedal tractor races were a hit! Landon and Jacie were the champs; they each received a toy combine set as their prize. Each student was sent home with a lunchbox full of goodies.
Elementary parents: Please be on the lookout for your parent teacher conference information coming home in your child's folder. The date for these are set for March 12 from 2-8pm for both the elementary and high school.

This school year, youth vaping is as big an issue as ever, especially given growing mental health challenges among youth. Behind the bright colors and sweet flavors of e-cigarettes are harmful chemicals and nicotine addiction. Join us to learn the essentials for helping kids avoid or quit vaping. Our virtual presentation Dangers of Vaping: What Parents Need to Know in 2024 will be held on Tuesday, March 12 at 6:00pm Eastern Time. At the end of this presentation, participants will be able to:
· Understand and recognize tobacco industry tactics targeting youth
· Explain the dangers of nicotine e-cigarettes/vapes, non-nicotine vapes, and other new tobacco products
· Know the steps to protect youth and how to advise others to get involved
· Take action in their own communities
If you can't make it, don't worry! We will be offering this presentation throughout the rest of the year on May 12, September 10, and November 19.
Make sure to register for our event on March 12 using the button below. This event is FREE and open to all, including parents, people who work with youth, and others. The recording will be available to all registrants after the webinar.
