First grade students in Pam Gray's class are exploring and observing the properties of rocks in science. They conducted a sink or float experiment with their rocks, as well as, testing them for hardness. Future geologists in the making!

 

Mrs. Jackie, a volunteer from the Alligator River Nature Conservancy, taught kindergarten students about birds this month. Brianna Diggs, sister of Kindergarten teacher Nicole Farrell and former KHES student, brought in some real birds to kick off the bird/ egg unit in Kindergarten.

 

A BIG congratulations to our very own student, Joshua Peters, for winning First Place in the state in his category for the 2015-16 PTA Reflections Contest. Reflections is a national arts recognition program that encourages students to explore their talents and express themselves.
