Crunch Heard Around the World 2026

Our 3rd graders joined the “Crunch Heard Around the World” celebration! Students took a moment to crunch into fresh, healthy apples while participating in a fun activity that promotes healthy eating and reminds us that small bites can make a big impact!

Dr. Proffitt and Ms. Cora celebrate Milk Mustache Day, posing with Mrs. Candace and Mrs. Hogan dressed in matching cow costumes and Ms. Cora holding the Best Milk Mustache Trophy after winning the friendly competition.

And the Best Milk Mustache goes to....

Ms. Cora! Her milk mustache stood out from the herd. Add in two cow costumes and plenty of school spirit, and Milk Mustache Day was a moo-velous success!
