This week we shine our Staff Spotlight on Mrs. Amanda.
🌱🔬 Hands-On Science in 6th Grade! 🔬🌱
Our sixth grade students recently explored the fascinating world of photosynthesis and chlorophyll through an engaging, hands-on science lesson! Students investigated capillary action by experimenting with how carnations transport dye from stem to petal, and we were able to visualize the pigments in fall leaves using paper chromatography. Different leaves produce different bands of pigments, including chlorophyll, carotenoids, and anthocyanins, which are the green, yellow/orange, and red/purple pigments you see in leaves in the Fall! This also helpied them better understand how plants move water and nutrients through their systems.
Experiences like these bring science to life and help students make meaningful connections between classroom concepts and the real world.
A special thank you to Ms. Sites for co-teaching alongside Mrs. Selmon and providing such an amazing, interactive lesson. Your collaboration, creativity, and dedication made this learning experience both educational and highly engaging for our students!

North Fork Elementary School would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the Seneca Rocks Fire Department and its dedicated members for visiting our Preschool and Kindergarten classrooms during Fire Prevention and Safety Week.
Our youngest Braves enjoyed learning important fire safety lessons, meeting local firefighters, and getting an up-close look at a real fire truck! The hands-on experience helped teach valuable safety skills in a fun and engaging way while creating lasting memories for our students.
We are grateful for the time, knowledge, and commitment the members of the Seneca Rocks Fire Department shared with our children. Community partnerships like these help make learning meaningful and help our students better understand the important role first responders play in keeping us safe.
💚 Thank you for your service, your dedication to our community, and for helping educate and inspire our Preschool and Kindergarten students! 💚
