Furneaux Students eat, read, and succeed in a promotion sponsored by Student Nutrition. To promote two healthy habits this school year; eating well and reading often, Student Nutrition gives away a book each month in the elementary cafeterias. A student in each grade wins a book when the promotion comes to their school. Winners receive a certificate stating that they won the featured book. For May, the book being featured is Secret Pizza Party. This month, we highlight students from Furneaux Elementary School.

Students Learn Big Concepts in CFB Pre-K

Students Learn Big Concepts in CFB Pre-K

Don’t let their diminutive size fool you. There’s a lot going on in those brains! At Pre-K at Furneaux Elementary, students are learning about their community. While they learn about neighborhoods, community, city services, and businesses, students pick up big concepts quickly. While some students read, others are role playing as employees and shoppers of their own tyke-sized Home Depot. Pre-K students build their own train tracks, play in a miniaturized town, and sort lumber while learning the concepts of how their neighborhood and community work together.
