Why did the teacher bring popcorn to school?
Because they wanted to 'pop' quiz the students!
Happy National Popcorn Day!

DMESC and GFESC foster grandparents received training in February about nutrition and eating a healthy diet. Representatives from four Cooperative Extension Aging Offices (Howard-Jean Ince, Sevier-Janet Cantrell, Logan-Katie Golden, and Polk-Bridgett Martin) shared ideas on what a healthy plate looks like, what foods help keep your brain healthy, how to eat healthy in a restaurant, and foods that are best for diabetics. The workshops stressed to our grandparents that it is important for them to maintain their health to care for our students in school.
