This past week Oden Preschool enjoyed lots of reading and activities in celebration of Dr. Seuss Week! Our students loved having special guest readers and also enjoyed being guests of the elementary students.
A special thank you to Mrs. Bergum, Coach Kennedy, Jennifer Barrett, and Whitney Starr for helping make this week one to remember.
The love of reading truly begins early, and we are so thankful for those who help inspire it in our students.

A parent brought a snake for the students to see up close, and their mascot even stopped by to read a story. It was a fun day full of learning and smiles!

Foster Grandparents in the DMESC program were treated to training this month by Brian Schuller, the DMESC Science Specialist. Workshops were held at Guy Fenter Co-op in Branch, Cossatot in Nashville, and DMESC in Gillham. Brian presented various science activities that the grandparents could do with students in the classroom or their own grandkids at home.
