Evan's Apple Orchard

 

Apples, apples, everywhere! It was a wonderful day for a field trip on Friday to Evan's Apple Orchard.

Students started out learning about apples at the orchard during an apple talk. We learned about different types of apples, how they make cider, and about the orchard.


The tractor ride around the orchard was fun. Students enjoyed seeing the different kinds of apples they grow, the pumpkin patch, and the great views of the orchard.



Students saw where they make apple cider and got to taste some delicious cider. They loved it!



Then, the children were able to view and feed the animals at The Barnyard. That brought some smiles to their little faces. After that, we cleaned up and had a nice picnic lunch in the picnic area.


And their favorite part of the day was enjoying the awesome playground. We got to slide down the huge slide, race ducks, play in the hay maze, ride mini tractors, and much more! They had a blast!

 
 

This will be a day the children will always remember. Thank you to all of the parents that were able to attend and help out throughout the day.

C.M.E. Walk-A-Thon

Our Walk-A-Thon fundraiser was a success! Our school raised over $20,000. AMAZING! Way to go, Clays Mill!

 
 

Children had a wonderful time walking around our track this afternoon. Chick-Fil-A made it out the the event and we even had a D.J. playing music during the walk. Our class carried a class flag with pictures the children drew of themselves pasted on both sides. The kids loved waving this flag during our walk. Many different children were carrying the flag during our six lap walk.



We wore our "Cat"ch me. . . if you can Walk-A-Thon T-shirts and enjoyed walking together as a class. As we crossed the finish line, we took a class picture. Look how excited they were to cross the finish line.



After the walk, our class danced to the music our D.J. played and had a great time together. Our class is the best!



Thank you to all of our classroom parents who volunteered to help make this event a success and to all of the donations you collected. This fundraiser will really help our school this year.
