Poplarville High School’s Future Business Leaders of America say, “Go green!” not only for their Poplarville Hornets, but also for Earth Day.  On Friday, April 24, FBLA members set off for Fairhope, Alabama, to participate in the 19^th annual Earth Day Mobile Bay celebration. 

 

 

To prepare for their trip, FBLA members, along with the help of some BCT students, collected old computers to take to the Fairhope Public Works Department to be recycled. 

 

On Saturday, April 25, the students attended the celebration where they learned all about better ways to recycle, got to interact with some endangered species, and even took a quiz to see how large their carbon footprints are. 

 

The students had a great time, and they all agree it was a wonderful experience. 

Poplarville Lower Elementary held its annual field day on Friday, April 24^th.  Students participated in several events including 50 yard dash, obstacle course, roller racers, sack race, hand slap relay, and tug-of-war. These students from Mrs. Trish Davis’ kindergarten class are shown competing in the tug-of-war. Everyone had a great time!

Cowboys, hats, animals, fishing poles, mud, and pirates.  These are just a few of the things that could be seen at P.L.E.’s Book Parade.  Each class selected a book or story that they had read, and the students dressed up as characters from that book.  Then dressed in their costumes, the students and staff paraded down Main Street.  This year’s Book Parade was held on Thursday, April 23rd.  A large number of people attended the parade, and everyone seemed to have a great time!

Rhonda Hariel’s kindergarten class dedicated their book parade entry, I Hate to be Sick, to Mrs. Mary Lou Lott.  Mrs. Lott, a longtime Poplarville School District Central Office purchasing agent, has been sick for the past few months. The class sent photographs of their parade entry to her.
