The March opening of Miss Embry’s class coffee shop was a huge success! Her class notched their biggest turnout yet with nearly 40 orders, her students were quite busy!
From taking orders to measuring each drink and hand delivering every cup, Miss Embry's students were able to practice fine motor skills and work on their face-to-face communication. We love this exercise because our students get to be hands-on and the school gets coffee, win win!☕️🎉

"How demanding is running your own business?" - A question these Covington students had answered firsthand from local entrepreneur Amber Stephenson. The answer: VERY, but it's all worth it! Amber owns Rosebuds Real Food, a local store selling all-natural, gluten-free, and non-GMO spices and seasonings. 🫚🍂
Amber shared the real story behind business ownership including the risks, the rewards, and everything in between. She made sure these students knew that it's not all sunshine and roses, but those willing to put in the work can make it happen!
Huge thanks to Amber for making a lasting impact on these students curious about entrepreneurship. Your energy is contagious, and the free samples were a big hit! ✨

Mrs. Durbins class took advantage of the nice weather window last week to get out of the classroom and learn about birds!🐦
Each week, the class reads a themed news article, and last weeks was about The Great Backyard Bird Count. Everyone created their own bird feeders out of sugar cones, Cheerios, and peanut butter and then watched them attract all different types of birds. It was a perfect excuse relax outdoors and enjoy the sunshine! 🌞🐦⬛🦤🦅
