Fall was in the air on Friday, Oct. 25 as Artemis students participated in several fall activities.
Grades fourth-sixth were on campus at Blossomwood Elementary to take part in Fall Enrichment Day. Students started the day with a STEM activity. Students combined food coloring, peroxide, yeast and water to create "elephant toothpaste."
"I couldn't wait to see what would happen when we mixed all the ingredients together," fourth grader Zoey Clark said. "It was so much fun."
They completed their time on campus by playing a variety of "Minute to Win It" games with a Halloween theme, including seeing how many marshmallows they could pick up with a spoon without using their hands and engaging in other races involving candy corn and gummy worms.
"We had two teams and the girls' team won," sixth grader Magick Taylor said. "It was fun."
Students in kindergarten through third grade visited Tate Farms for the school's first field trip. Students took advantage of the warm weather to ride tricycles on the track, visit the petting zoo, bouncing on the jump pads, playing in the corn crib and riding the carousel.
"We wanted to provide an opportunity for our students to take a field trip," kindergarten teacher Chrissy Gleason said. "Tate Farms provided the best setting for our first trip and we hope to have more participation for our next event. The kids had a good time."
