Ms. Koppenheffer's Kindergarten students are published authors! They wrote an ABC book about farm animals called "Farm Animals A-Z". We are all so proud of them!


Old Richmond students spent Tuesday morning sharing their knowledge of farming during their animal museum project.
Students dressed in farm animal costumes and presented animal facts they've learned in class to visitors. There were also booths dedicated to farm fresh foods and textiles that emphasized how important farms are to the economy. Visitors were able to buy farm animal-inspired student artwork from the museum gift shop, with proceeds going to benefit real animals at Friends of Stokes Shelter and real farmers in Western North Carolina whose farms were impacted by Hurricane Helene.
Thanks for sharing, Old Richmond!

Our students are learning about the basic needs of plants and animals in different environments. Today, they learned about different aquatic habitats! Can you tell the difference between saltwater and freshwater?




Earth Day is always a big celebration at ORES! Today was not an exception! Thank you to Ms. Mulhern and everyone else who made this day happen for our students! They learned about recycling, apple seeds, and many, many more topics.





The students reached their goal with the Penny Pile-Up Fundraiser, so Ms. Montgomery, Ms. Sheppard, and Mr. Suber had to pay up! The Kindergarten teachers were able to pie each of them in the face! The students loved it!! Thank you to everyone who participated in the Penny Pile-Up fundraiser to make this event possible for the students!
