School News: Nursery Road Holds Mock Election, Lil' Champs & More

Check out what's happening in Nursery Road Elementary School.

Students in an early morning "pre-game" program called "Lil Champs" worked on making turkey centerpieces on Nov. 8. 

"Lil Champs," a program by library media specialist Jessica Felker, is a club held before school and made up of kindergarten students ages 4 and 5, and their older siblings in fourth and fifth grades. 

The students spend quality time in the library, learning how to read, and use reading strategies with their younger brothers and sisters. 

The siblings participated in an activity that goes along with the book that was read. 

Pictured are brothers Jackson and Logan W. and Noah and Jacob P. working together on their turkey centerpieces.
