Two Oppe Elementary School Robotics Girls are Gearing Up for the World Championships
Oppe third-grader Yaritzy Lopez and fourth-grader Valeria Alfaro barely knew what robotics was and never even heard of robotics teams or tournaments when the school year began. Next month the duo will be competing in the VEX Robotics World Championships. Read more about the girls’ journey to the World Championships: https://bit.ly/3ewlfpn

SMART Family Literacy
Students planted tomatoes and peppers in their new vegetable garden at Parker Elementary School. Before the end of the school year, students will be able to grind these ingredients into salsa after harvesting. When students plant, grow, and harvest their own vegetables, they are more likely to eat them. Encouraging students to make healthy snack choices helps to combat the rate of childhood obesity.
