The entire second grade of Lees Corner Elementary School and a bevy of volunteers held Native American Day on March 1 as a capstone to months of learning about Native Americans. The Native American unit is a critical part of the second grade curriculum and the second grade team — Veronica Turner, Vicki McGorty, Melissa Carbonara and Leslie Barnes — thought that the event would be a good way to celebrate the students’ hard work. Students decorated fringed t-shirts, ate foods like jerky and three-sisters stew, made jewelry, drums, and headdresses, wrote and told pictograph stories, and played games.
