Roasted Corn for all to Enjoy!
Girard students had a wonderful opportunity to taste an ear of roasted corn. The Dady Family brought their corn roaster to provide each student with their own hot, buttery ear of corn. For many, this was their first taste of roasted corn. The corn was provided by area co-ops. The experience for our students was in partnership with our Healthy Food for a Happy World grant.

According to the Alabama Department of Public Health, from newborns to college, you can help protect your children from 16 serious diseases by getting them vaccinated. Make sure your kids get any needed vaccines before the back-to-school rush!
As a parent, making sure your children are vaccinated on time is an important step toward ensuring their long-term health. Vaccination also helps protect the health of classmates, friends, relatives, and others in the community.
By following the CDC’s recommended immunization schedule for your children, you help protect them from disease outbreaks.
