Big thanks to Loving Jefferson and Open Heart Assembly! ❤️🍎 Yesterday afternoon, every student in grades 2 through 4 enrolled in summer school received a food bag, thanks to a generous food grant secured by the Loving Jefferson outreach team from Open Heart Assembly. Their continued support helps ensure our students have what they need, even when school’s out. We are so grateful for their heart for our kids and community! #StrongSchoolsStrongCommunity #FSDKnights

🐷⚖️ The Case of the Big Bad Wolf... in Court! 🐺 Today, our 4th-grade summer school students stepped into the shoes of attorneys, witnesses, and jurors during a mock trial at the St. Francois County Courthouse! The courtroom drama featured none other than the Big Bad Wolf and the Three Little Pigs. The Big Bad Wolf was on trial for eating two of the three pigs! This hands-on experience provided students with the opportunity to learn how the legal system operates—from courtroom procedures to persuasive speaking and critical thinking. They not only witnessed justice in action but also practiced collaboration, active listening, and civic engagement. A huge thank you to Judge Murray and our local courthouse staff for making learning come alive in such a memorable way! 🏛️👏 #SummerLearning #RealWorldReady #FSDKnights
