Fourth and fifth grade students of Manchester Academy recently attended “Make a Splash with Project Wet” held at the Museum of Natural Science in Jackson.
It is the largest nationwide day of water education in the world.
Water festivals consist of multiple structured learning stations where students actively engage in hands-on water activities and investigations. Subjects that are addressed include the water cycle, water conservation, wetlands, pollution, weather soils and water management.
The festivals have been held in all 50 states. The students all received pizza lunch and a gift bag.
Chris Oliver, Lindy Mosley and Judy Morrissey accompanied their students.
Dear Editor:
In the 6 April 2013 edition of The Yazoo Herald you published a letter from Cynthia Fuller, "Thanks to (Van) Foster for helping get bridge replaced."
After reading this lettter, I had the impression that the bridge was completed and traffic was moving along normally.
Wrong! Last Sunday I was on my way to homecoming at Providence Baptist Church. I turned north onto old 49 and saw the signs that the bridge was out. I assumed that they hadn't gotten around to removing the signs. I expected to cross Thompson Creek on the new bridge. When I approached the creek the road was barricaded and construction equipment was down in the creek.
Perhaps The Herald can keep us updated as to the progress being made on the new bridge.
