History came to life at Brunson Elementary School today when Daniel Ayers, a historical reenactor and former history teacher, held a presentation for fifth graders in full costume. Ayers offered insight into the daily lives of soldiers during the American Revolution while also explaining how small events at the time have become major historical touchstones today. Ayers says that living history presentations like these help give students a sense of continuity, reminding them that despite seeming very long ago, the past was integral to shaping the present.
"Because we're such a young country, a lot of our history has been captured in photos and videos, but further back, especially for the 18th century, all we have are paintings," Ayers said. "Bringing living history to kids shows them that there were real people behind those paintings, and they lived in a real world, and it was our world."

Author Peter Brown came to Brunson today to meet with our 2nd graders. He shared with students about learning to write and draw as a child. Students were glued to the presentation! Thank you to Ms. Randall, Ms. McCracken, and Bookmarks Bookstore in Winston for making this happen!

Fourth grade students have also been busy! During physical education, Tiger Kim's has been teaching them Tae Kwon Do. Every fourth grader created different animal habitats and shared them with their classmates. And, math is not just "hands on" but "bodies on" with Mrs. Woody, as they learn about comparing numbers.

Your help & donations are essential to make the festival run smoothly. We need help setting up the event, running fun games for the kids, and assisting with cleanup afterwards. Without volunteers, the festival simply wouldn’t be possible.

Butterflies, Bee Bots, and Swimming, oh my! Second grade students have been busy with STEM. They explored butterflies on a field trip to All-A-Flutter, learning how butterflies see and hear. They learned coding with Bee Bots, programming their bee robot to move from flower to flower in different directions. And, they started swim lessons at the William G. White YMCA, learning water safety!
