Aurora Elementary School students in Ms. Cady's class completed their “Dig In" STEM project. Students learned about archaeologists and paleontologists before going on their own fossil hunt around the school. Additionally, students had to make a tool that an archaeologist or paleontologist could use to dig up artifacts or fossils. Students designed prototypes and tested their initial tool designs to see which could hold the most dirt with one scoop. After testing, the students iterated on their designs to make better prototypes based on what they learned from their first model's test. Great job students on all your prototypes!

Once again, the running clubs from Aurora, Dillsboro, and Manchester elementary schools participated in the Dillsboro Homecoming Festival Flying Frog 5K Race last Saturday morning. Several parents, siblings, and school staff members participated as well helping to make this the largest race yet for the Dillsboro 5K. Even other elementary school students who are not members of their school’s running club decided to join in on the fun! Congratulations to all our students and staff members who placed in the top three for their age groups! Special thanks to Camille Boyken and the Dillsboro Fair Committee for continuing to supply us the shirts, bibs, and chips to our runners prior to race day. We appreciate your hard work and dedication to making this special 5K race a success!
