Reno Elementary School

🧹✨ Thank you to our wonderful custodians who go above and beyond every day to make sure Reno Elementary is a clean, safe, and welcoming place for our students and staff! 🙌🦔

We appreciate you more than words can say! Happy Custodian Appreciation Day!!!!🧡🖤

🧸🩺 What an AMAZING day in 1st grade! To wrap up our Human Body unit, our students got to experience a Teddy Bear Clinic hosted by the SHS Practicum of Health Science students!

Here’s how the clinic worked:
✨ Check-in station → students gave their name & their stuffie’s name, and the stuffie received an intake bracelet.
✨ Triage station → students explained what “ailment” their stuffie had.
✨ Vital signs → hearing, temperature, blood pressure, heart rate (HS students filled out a real form!).
✨ Hospital bed → examined the patient & looked at X-rays.
✨ Treatment advice → students learned how to care for their stuffie.
🧠 Students also made brain caps after their teddy bear was assessed!

A HUGE thank you to:
🧡 Mrs. Cosentino & the SHS Practicum of Health Science students for making this hands-on learning possible.
🧡 Coach Terry Spray for donating the stuffed animals — what a special memento for our students!
🧡 Mrs. Curtin & Mrs. Garrison for bringing learning to life in such a fun way!
