Midland Trail Fueling young minds with cluckin' good chicken!
This Drumstick lunch features tender, juicy drumsticks cooked to perfection. Bursting with flavor, the outside is crispy and golden, while the inside is oh-so-tender and juicy. Whether you gobble them up solo or pair them with your favorite sides, this meal is a definite winner!
Quote from AES Principal Marchelle Bowling: When one of AES second graders makes a delicious sandwich out of lunch and eats EVERY bite.
Last week, New River Primary practiced school bus safety with a bus reteach of expectations and this week, Buster the School Bus visited New River Primary to prepare for National School Bus Safety Week (October 16-20, 2023). Buster the Bus is an outstanding school bus robot that teaches the important lessons of school bus safety. Buster is a fully animated remote-controlled robot. He moves, speaks, listens, plays MP3s, and activates his lights all by remote control. With his stop-arm, he has all the warning devices of a real bus. He can wink, blink, and move his eyes, and with his smiling mouth, he presents a positive and friendly image to everyone he meets! The students really enjoyed his visit and got to sing Wheels on the Bus with him, and get their picture made! Pictured is Ms. Vargo’s Kindergarten class.

New River Primary’s Student Support Team applied for and received a grant for youth in grandparent or other kinship/relative care in the amount of $2,000. With the assistance from the grant, New River Primary was able to serve seven families and sixteen students. This allowed each student to receive a snow suit, a winter jacket, three school outfits, pajamas and new shoes! Families were so appreciative of the items and this was an excellent opportunity for the school to continue to build strong relationships with these families.
