The SMS PTA meeting for tonight 12/11/23 has been canceled.
The students had a unique opportunity to taste honey straight from the hive, connecting their learning experience to the real world. This hands-on approach not only engaged their senses but also deepened their understanding of the significance of bees in our ecosystem.
As our students explored the world of beekeeping, they developed a sweet appreciation for the hard work that goes into producing honey.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Apiarist Lisa Mohr Lindsey Hofman for sharing their expertise and making our geography class an enriching and delicious adventure. 🙏🐝
