Meandering to the Mangos

If a list were compiled of the favorite spots of the Casey Community School students and teachers around Gallon Jug, near the top of most lists would be the mangal.  About a five minute walk from the school is Gallon Jug's 50 acres of mango plantation.  The mangos are used for the primary purpose of making Gallon Jug sauces.

This was a particularly good year for mangos, so we were able to get permission for the students in standards 3, 4, 5, and 6 to go to the mangal and pick enough mangos for all of the students at the Casey Community School to take home a mango.

 Mango picking presented an opportunity for teamwork and problem solving for the students. 

And a 'teachable moment' for the teachers, with students working on a 5 senses poetry project while at the mangal. 

Sports Update

Athletic practices are in full swing at the Casey Community School.  Boys and girls have been participating in weekly soccer and volleyball practices.

 

Additionally, this weekend Belikin and I had the chance to cheer on Meghan Houlihan, and the Keuka College woman's volleyball team, as they completed a 3 game sweep in their Senior Day match. 

Way to go Storm!!
