Please join us for Summer Lunch!

Due to construction we will be moving our Vard Meadow location to the far side of the park. We will be serving on the corner of Falls and Valdez. This will be a temporary change until the construction is finished in that area. Just a reminder: If you are attending William Thomas Middle School meal pick up location in a vehicle, please remain in the vehicle line. Do not enter the parking lot to park and have your children get out of the car and line up. We have many children on foot or bikes. It is not safe for the vehicles to be moving in several different directions. Please help us keep the children safe.

We look forward to seeing you!

Throughout April and early May, high school FFA members had the opportunity to work with 5th grade students through a series of hands-on planting workshops! 🌱🎨

Students first created and glazed their own pottery pots in art class before learning how to transplant plants into their finished creations. Throughout five weeks, the FFA members led five different mini-workshops .

A huge thank you to JRSE art teacher Mirinda Clapier for collaborating with the FFA chapter and helping make this experience possible for both high school and 5th grade students. We also want to recognize member Eddy Hernandez for developing the workshop curriculum and helping lead this activity from start to finish.

We love opportunities that bring together agriculture and art while helping elementary students build creativity and confidence through hands-on experiences!

This year, our school started teaching woodworking classes again. Students learned how to measure, cut, and fasten wood pieces. The skills they learned are showcased in featured planter boxes that will be sold during the upcoming greenhouse sale! As student progress through the program, we hope to equip them with skills that will help them obtain work in the construction industry. Keep an eye out for future projects!
