Mallory Grady, Farm to School associate from the Rappahannock Rapidan Regional Commission, visited AGR and delivered sweet potatoes for students to try. Here are some 1st graders enjoying the program's goals of increasing equitable access to fresh, healthy, Virginia-grown food.
AGR P.E. teacher Mr. Downs recognized January's P.E. Students of the Month today. These students showed exceptional effort in P.E. and earned a certificate and bulldog water bottle. Congratulations to these students!
Be sure to mark your calendar for the second annual AGR Probability Fair. This is a FREE event for AGR families. It's February 22, 2024 from 5pm - 6:30pm. (You're welcome to, but you don't have to stay the whole time; it takes about 20-30 minutes to play all the games.)
Each student gets a baggie of tickets when they come in. They are allowed to play each of the 20 games one time. Probability ranges from certain to win, to impossible to win!!
New this year--Which Will You Pick?--a game just for parents!! Stay tuned for details.
If you have any questions about this event, don't hesitate to ask AGR Math Specialist Mrs. Standley.
The 4th grade Q3 writing prompt is presented as a persuasive essay to convince someone to try a new food. Emma Beyer, originally from Wisconsin, jumped on the opportunity to convince her teacher, Mrs. Birch, and her classmates to try a KRINGLE. None of them had ever heard of the treat. Emma went into great lengths to teach the class about it. She even stood in front of the class and gave a short speech on why they should try it.
If you do not know, a Kringle is the "state pastry of Wisconsin" and is essentially a really big danish-style pastry. Today is Emma's birthday, and her class is celebrating with a HUGE, straight from Wisconsin, Kringle! It's delicious!

Students in Mrs. Bridges' first grade class, and Mr. Berger's fifth grade class worked together on a sound lesson over the past three days. The final activity was for students to make a sound code, having objects represent a letter to spell a word using only sounds.
Miss Indie - a therapy dog, visited AGR today, shown here in Mrs. Minavio's 1st grade class. It looks like students are hugging themselves, but they are actually showing what to do if a strange dog is ever near them, they need pretend they're a tree and put their head down.
Congratulations to Grayson Cox, Ian Balino, and Kaedyn Sutherland - our spelling bee participants from last night. We are proud to announce that Grayson took 1st place, and Ian took 2nd place. Thanks to Mrs. Marini for all her work in preparing for the bee. Congratulations!!
