Health Benefits of Artichokes

Artichokes are green vegetables native to the Mediterranean region and are often a key feature in Mediterranean cuisine. They may seem intimidating to prepare but require simple steaming and offer many health benefits. They are particularly high in protein and fiber.

This morning we had our 🍂Fall Festival🍁. Students walked through the 👻Haunted Halls of ENCSD🕸 knocking on doors and trick-or-treating🍬🍭🍫, painted pumpkins🎃, got their faces painted, played many games, and went on a hay ride. 

The high school students had a bear-y🐻‍❄️good time visiting the NC Zoo in Asheboro! Activities included: howling with the wolves 🐺, buzzing around the honeybee 🐝exhibit, and attempting to teach the gorillas 🦍 ASL.

Middle school students started the year off on the "right foot." The 3D shoe project was a great way to build community among students in the classroom and peers within the school. The 3D paper shoe models were displayed in McAdams, celebrating each student’s uniqueness and enhancing a sense of belonging. They then explored still life art inspired by Maya Kopitseva, focusing on shape, proportion, contrast, and texture. They began by observing fruits to improve their realistic depiction skills and create balanced compositions.

🏅Our students received academic awards this morning. Congratulate them on their outstanding achievements!🏅

Our Math 3 class used number lines, inequalities, inequality notations, and interval notations to arrange card clues in correct order. The sorted cards helped students to find number combinations that opened four combination locks for each locked box. Treasured treats were found inside to congratulate students for matching the correct number lines, inequalities, inequality notations, and interval notations.

Our students are now ready for interpreting key features of functions using interval notation.

What's So Great about Rutabaga?

• Rutabagas are an excellent source of vitamin C, and a good source of potassium, fiber, and vitamin A.
• Rutabagas are low in calories and are fat free.
• Rutabaga's sweet, mildly peppery flesh makes great side dishes.<
