Week of May 12


Check out our praying mantises!  Each first grade class had an egg case to observe.  After a few weeks, hundreds hatched!  We’ve enjoyed learning about the life cycle of these incredible insects!

Boxes have been placed around Old Union to collect the shoes. Thank you in advance for making a difference in the lives of these precious children. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Patty Gibson at patricia.gibson@southlakecarroll.edu.
