Fourth grade students in Ms. Cotoās class at North Main had a festive way to begin the season of giving. Students welcomed their families to a special presentation built around the book Balloons Over Broadway, a story that explains how the famous Thanksgiving Day parade floats first came to be.
After reading the book together and learning about Tony Sarg, the famous puppeteer who created the original balloons, students were divided into teams of five to design, create and present their own float. Great job, Crusaders! š¦š

Did you know New York produces about 30 million bushels of apples annually? How ābout them apples! During lunch today, Crusaders from Central Valley, North Main and Pine Tree joined in the Big Apple Crunchāa statewide celebration of New Yorkās favorite fruit.
In partnership with the FarmOn! Foundation, students received samples of five different kinds of apples: Granny Smith, Red, Golden, Gala and Fuji. At CVE students even turned it into a mini-taste test, ranking each sample from sweet to most tart, and the reactions were as diverse as the flavors!šš
