 Memorial Day was first celebrated on May 30, 1868. It was observed by placing flowers on the graves of Union and Confederate soldiers during the first national celebration. After World War I, Memorial Day was changed from honoring those who lost their life during the civil war to honoring Americans who died fighting in any war. See the fact file below for more information on Memorial Day.

In My Habitat is Where It’s At, Bonnie Bear is a small-town bear from northern Louisiana who dreams of making it big as jazz singer in New Orleans. To fulfill her dream, Bonnie goes on a journey through the great state of Louisiana, travelling through the regions of Sportsman’s Paradise, Crossroads, Cajun Country, Plantation Country, and finally Greater New Orleans. Along the way, she meets native critters of each region who try to convince her that their habitat is the best. Each new friend explains to Bonnie that they serve a function in their particular home and that their habitat could not thrive without them. Throughout her journey, Bonnie is amazed by all the biodiversity that exists in one state and in the end must choose for herself which region she will call home. Playmakers' touring plays are 45-minute shows that focus on an educational topic based on the needs of our unique community. This year’s show, My Habitat is Where It’s At, was written by high school students in a playwriting class at the Runnels School. Monday, May 16.
Today on the playground, several of our students witnessed a turtle laying eggs. During extended day, students built a safety zone for the eggs to protect them from curious kiddos! Box Turtle Facts: 1. Box turtles get their name because when in danger, they can close their whole body into their shell like they are hiding in a box. 2. Box turtles can live up to 100 years! 3. Box turtles eggs take about 2-3 months to hatch. 4. Box turtles are omnivorous. They eat both plants and other living creatures. |
