Big Things, Little Minds
Last Thursday, the AD Hay Sources of Strength peer leaders, led by JD Herman, hosted an art show. The event featured numerous interactive booths for visitors to enjoy, including button making, slime making, black-on-black primary color painting, coloring books, 30-second drawing challenges, honker strength, zen tangle, and collage.
This was an amazing event organized by the peer leaders at the elementary school, not only to showcase the artwork of community members but also to bring everyone together for a fun, safe, and creative experience. We are very proud of each and every Sources of Strength member who made this event possible, and we look forward to seeing it continue in the years to come.
Please see attached link below to see the video of members speaking about the event as well as all the booths.

Students in Mrs. Reese’s 3rd–4th grade class took to the drawing board to design products they thought would sell. They managed everything from product design and production costs to setting prices for sales. As they created their products, students had to “purchase” building materials and equipment to bring their ideas to life.
On the final day, students sold their products within the class and used their profits to buy items from their classmates. These products included greeting cards, bookmarks, paper airplanes, and paper fortune tellers.
These future business owners might be able to teach us a thing or two about turning a profit.
To kick off our unit on opinion writing, Mrs. Young’s 5th–7th grade class put the penny on trial. The penny was accused of being obsolete, and both teams prepared their cases. Key witnesses, including the quarter, a shop owner, and even Abe Lincoln himself, were called to the stand to determine the penny’s fate.
The prosecution and defense questioned witnesses and worked to persuade the jury through their opening and closing statements. In the end, the penny was found not guilty, as the defense rallied the jury with an emotional closing that highlighted the significance of the penny in American history and economics.
