Mrs. Kristie Thomas and the Foods II students would like to thank Maple Ridge Pest Solutions, owned by Derek and Katy Light, for the generous donation of strawberries to our classes. The Lights purchased the boxes of fresh Florida berries from the FFA fundraiser. Students made strawberry shortcakes containing sweet white cakes, sweetened strawberries, and homemade whipped cream. They were a treat! 🍓

The Cumberland High School Community Living/Service Class recently spent time learning about the important role libraries play in our communities. As part of this experience, students visited the Effingham Public Library, as well as libraries in Toledo and Greenup.

During their visit to the Effingham Public Library, the students got to make a little pipe cleaner buddy and take a ride in an elevator. The students not only explored the many resources libraries offer, but also gave back! They created handmade bookmarks and assembled personal hygiene bags to leave for library visitors in need.

We are so proud of our students for showing kindness, generosity, and community spirit. Thank you to our local libraries for welcoming our class and for all you do to serve our communities!

Mr. Horath's freshman English class concluded their poetry unit with Emily Dickinson Day. Students chose a favorite poem by one of America's greatest poets to explore her use of imagery and rhythm. The class began by reading "Hope' is the thing with feathers". Each student presented his or her poem to the class. Not only did they recite her most difficult poems, but they explained the themes at play!
