St. Joseph Kindergarten classes wrapped up their bug unit last week with special guests, Mr. and Mrs. Manion (Arlo’s mom and dad). They brought their bees and some equipment that they use for bee keeping.
"During the visit a few bees actually hatched and the kids all got to see it up close as it was occurring. It was amazing to see. A huge thanks to Arlo and his family for enriching our learning!" comments Mrs. Hefley, SJES Kindergarten teacher.

St. Joseph Kindergarten students are making an impact in the community with a Lenten service project--Birthday Boxes! Kindergarteners collected and filled 39 cake boxes with cake mixes, candles, and all sorts of birthday fun! The boxes were then donated to Soul Food Cafe Missions for distribution. "Today, when I spoke to our contact at Soul Food Cafe Missions, she was almost moved to tears by the generosity of '5 and 6 year olds,' as she called them. She was blown away! She told me there were numerous times that people come in for food help and they will mention their child has an upcoming birthday would there be anything special the mission had for that. Now they will have 39 boxes that they can say yes and give to these families!" comments Mrs. Hefley, Kindergarten Teacher. Thank you to our kindergartners, Mrs. Strack and Mrs. Hefley for your giving hearts this Lenten season!
Reminder: St. Joseph School will be closed for both Good Friday, April 18, and Easter Monday, April 21.

On Thursday, the kindergarten classes had the best time when Mr. Ben Thrash, Addie’s dad, came to talk about bugs! Mr. Thrash is the Associate Professor of Entomology/Extension for the University of Arkansas Cooperative Extension Service, which means he knows ALL the things about bugs. He brought a slideshow with pictures of all sorts of insects and bug families. "The students got to look at his 'bug boxes' and ask so many questions. We ended with a bug story! It was the best way to enrich our bug unit with hands on learning," commented Mrs. Hefley. Thank you, Mr. Thrash for visiting our kindergarten classes!
