Last week our 3-5th grades went to Funland Skate Center in Wellsville to roll off some steam! The kids had a great time at all levels of skating skills.
Middle and High School Spanish students recently took a flavorful field trip to Rancho Viejo Mexican Restaurant, where they enjoyed authentic Mexican décor, cuisine, fruit-flavored sodas, and delicious desserts.
In the spirit of cultural immersion, many students stepped out of their comfort zones, not only to trying new dishes, but by placing their orders in Spanish. Whether confidently requesting their meals or simply adding a polite "por favor" and "gracias," everyone embraces the opportunity to put their language skills into practice.
It was a delicious and educational experience for all, proving that stepping outside the classroom (and your comfort zone!) can lead to some of the most memorable lessons!
Yesterday, the DECA club sponsored an end-of-year Ice Cream Social for the elementary students. We're pretty sure the kids loved it, from the looks of those smiles! Thank you, DECA students, for sharing your time with them!
