We appreciate the FBI Pittsburgh Office for putting this event on for students!
The Thundering Herd didn't get the results they were looking for on the field this weekend but they still earned a W in the classroom!

The Kindergarten Team at East Lynn Elementary has been working on this lesson for months! At the end of last school year, Mrs. Mathis and Mrs. Baker's kindergarten classes learned about plant life cycles and planted watermelon seeds to finish up their lesson.
The watermelon's have been growing, and growing, since then. Mrs. Mathis and Mrs. Baker recently picked the ripe melons, and created an interactive lesson for this year's kindergarten students. They measured the height and weight of each watermelon, and learned some delicious new adjectives while taste testing the watermelon!
The melons were so big, every class was in the school was able to have some. What an exciting and productive lesson! Great job!
