Science Day will be held at the school on Nov. 9 this year.
When children see the prevalence of science in everyday life and are exposed to the excitement of scientific discovery first hand, they are more likely to develop a lifelong appreciation for and understanding of scientific concepts, according to some studies. Such is the idea behind Hillside Elementary School's Science Day, an innovative, daylong program designed to expose students to the wonders of the natural world. Now in its fourth year, the program’s success has inspired several other North Fulton schools to implement their own Science Day and has prompted the Sawnee EMC Foundation to award the program with its fourth consecutive Bright Ideas Grant. “By participating in events such as this that help our young people, we know that we …

Teachers and parents are excited about the learning opportunities the garden has created in just two short years.
The Crabapple Middle School “Learn and Serve Garden” grew from a seed of an idea via science teachers Glenn Mize and Jeanetta Lewisand and language arts teacher Shelley Merritt. The trio wanted to bring their lessons to life in the garden by giving students “get-your-hands-dirty” earth science experiences while giving back to the local community. Mize wanted students to experience science beyond the books, coupling what he learned in the garden from his father and grandfather. He wanted kids to see “the miracle” of how one seed from a dead plant can be planted to produce a vine that spreads out across the garden and bears fruit to feed hundreds. CMS sixth graders plant the garden during “Go Green Day” in the spring and a dedicated group of…
