Students in Ms. Adams's 6th grade Career Class are learning how to write and sign checks and how to maintain a transaction register correctly. This is a life skill that is part of their JA Biztown curriculum that prepares them to be productive citizens.
Dr. Tonya Blocker, Director of our ECCSS School Nutrition Program (SNP), shared SNP information and celebrations during the ECCSS Board of Education (BOE) meeting on Monday evening.
SNP is committed to excellence for students and staff, and this was reflected in their recent perfect scores in their health inspections! Dr. Blocker also shared about Harvest of the Month, a program that partners SNP, the UGA Extension Service, and GADOE to serve locally farmed and harvested food items in cafeteria meals. Dr. Blocker highlighted some CHS and SNP partnerships: Breakfast Break Fridays and an upcoming Cinnamon Roll Class. These efforts are helping our CHS students engage with our SNP in ways that will serve them in college, careers, and life!

Students in Mrs. Liberatore’s class found out what happens when you mix solids (pop rocks) with liquids (coke). They discovered that gas (carbon dioxide) is produced and released into the balloon. This project based learning activity was made possible by the 4Cs: Communication, Critical Thinking, Creativity, and Collaboration.
The Agriculture pathway expanded its family today!
For the past few weeks, two different types of quail eggs have been incubated by students. After 18 days of incubation, the first Pharaoh quail made their appearance, and the students eagerly await the arrival of the Snowflake quail, which will take approximately six more days. Comparisons will be made regarding growth rates between the two species. Which bird, eating the same food ration, do you predict will reach target weight faster?
The Den extends a huge thank you to Bobby Colson of B & G Honey Farms for donating the Pharaoh eggs.
