On
Friday morning, members of the Mount Pulaski High School FFA and FFA
Alumni enjoyed a tractor drive around the high school.
Annually, FFA students at local high schools are permitted to drive
their tractors to school on one specific day during the school year.
Mount Pulaski FFA Advisor and Ag teacher Ralph Allen wanted to keep
up the tradition in some way. Because school is not in session, the
kids couldn't drive to school, but they could drive around the
school.

On
Thursday evening, Audra Turley and her crew hosted a drive-by
greeting event for her students at Audra's Dance Studio.
Turley said that the kids have not been able to attend classes since
March and she hasn't seen them nearly as much as she would normally.
She said she and her staff miss their students and know that the
students are missing their dance classes.
Turley and her instructors Brande Montgomery and Hope Duffy,
assistants Emma Stoltzenburg, Lydia Roland, and Jayden Lawrence,
along with Turley's daughter Faith enjoyed seeing a number of their
students as they were driven past the studio by their parents.

Something
to do while staying at home:
Like it or not, Stay at Home orders are
still in place through the month of May. Looking on the bright side
- you and your children are living through a very historical event
in our lives. Today, create a journal/scrapbook for each of you.
Write down your story of COVID-19 add pictures and art. It will be
something you can share with others for years to come.
It's going to be rainy this week, so
head to the kitchen with the kiddos and have some fun!
Looks like we'll be sheltering in place
for Mother's Day. While it is rainy and windy today how
about teaming up with the kiddos to make Mother's Day cards and
all occasion cards to send to local senior care facilities?
Check out these two designs to make with scissors and crayons
Garden Centers may open May 1st.
Use this website to guide you and your child through the entire
growing season with fun, easy activities, making chores into games
and much much more! Includes preparation activities you can do
with your child now, before you go to the garden center.
