Our Sixth Graders visited Joseph Le Conte Middle School on Friday, March 22, 2013. Parents were also invited to attend the field trip. Our 6th Grade students and their parents met various Le Conte teachers, counselors, and students. They learned about the different activities and programs that Le Conte has to offer to its students. Our students also had the opportunity to tour the campus and walk into classrooms to get an idea what a middle school classroom is like. Our sixth graders were given prizes and snacks, and they were also treated to ice cream! Thanks to Le Conte Middle School for giving our Selma students the VIP treatment.

This morning and afternoon, our students attended an engaging opera musical assembly inside our auditorium.  Our students learned how to actively use the Food Pyramid when making food choices. They also learned the importance of snacking on fruits and vegetables, the positive effects of an hour of daily physical activity, and the use of food labels to determine calorie, sugar, and fat content. Moreover, they learned how to identify the "hype" that companies use to entice people to buy sugary products. It was an excellent learning experience for our Silver Hawks.
