SWEET POTATO CREATIONS

The fourth grade students at Riverbend Elementary recently honored our state vegetable by creating Sweet Potato creatures! The annual home project was again a great success! “Albert Einstein”, “Christopher Columbus”, and a host of other interesting creations were displayed in the school lobby prior to Thanksgiving. This was part of a social studies unit where students learn about the ‘taters.
A team of faculty members had the difficult task of choosing winners from each classroom. Boyd Kirkpatrick took the overall certificate for his creation of “Bob Ross.” All the students had a great time and all were winners!
