The Greyhound Yearbook Class assisted the Strawn Chamber of Commerce in collecting food items for Angel Tree families to have a holiday meal! Strawn ISD was not the only drop-off location; many items and monetary donations were given at Strawn First National Bank. We are happy that our volunteer project this semester could directly benefit our community! Thank you, Strawn community members, for being generous and thoughtful, especially during this holiday season.

Ms. Estrada's Kindergarten Class has been discussing weather changes and seasons! Using a clear cup of water, shaving cream, and food coloring, they created their own clouds. When the shaving cream cloud became too heavy with food coloring, it fell down as rain. What a fun and colorful science experiment!
