Vandalia Elementary School

Mrs. Eckard’s class studied animal adaptations and characteristics. After learning about animal characteristics, they made fake snow and created animal footprints.

Reminder from District Nurse, Joy Lewis: Parents, please keep your child home from school if they are sick. This is an important mitigation effort to help keep our school buildings as healthy as possible! Thank you for your help! We are looking forward to a great 2nd semester!
