Did you know that June is Dairy Month? Last week, Mrs. Beard’s 3rd-grade classroom at McAuliffe Elementary celebrated with a dairy day! Students learned about the history of June Dairy Month and dairy milk production. They also sampled different flavors of cheeses, made and tasted butter, and wrote thank-you notes to farmers. What a fun day of learning!!
Hastings Middle School 8th graders did an excellent job representing HMS on our first-ever Day of Caring! Students pulled weeds and picked up garbage downtown and along the Mississippi River. This day was made possible due to time or donations from the City of Hastings, Hastings Park and Rec, Hastings Family Service, Hastings Bus Company, Fleet Farm, Culvers, and HMS parent volunteers. Students were also inspired by Nicole Sindelar earlier in the day as she challenged students always to try to make a positive impact on others and their community!
Mrs. Munson’s 3rd Graders were wearing the tie-dye shirts they made together last week. They were proud to wear them together for the carnival and even won the 3rd-grade tug-of-war trophy! 🏆
All outdoor athletic competitions have been canceled due to the impending severe weather.

Chef Mike visited McAuliffe Elementary last Tuesday to showcase the March Harvest of the Month. He made orange chicken with homemade orange ginger sauce, which is one of the Harvest of the Month items. The kids LOVED it and came back for more, while others took some time to smell the ginger root and see a rutabaga for the first time!
Chef Mike also visited Kennedy and Pinecrest to hand out more samples!
Students from McAuliffe went on a field trip to the Busted Nut. Prior to the field trip students learned and practiced restaurant etiquette and social skills. The students ordered off menus, practiced waiting, and practiced the social skills they learned in class. A special thank you to Ability 2 Believe for sponsoring the event. A good time was had by all!!!
