October 21, 2015 - TES Fifth Grade Social Studies  News - Submitted by: Jennifer Crittenden
Last week in my Social Studies class we were learning about the Columbian Exchange. To bring the subject to life students were asked to reenact the Columbian Exchange by bringing food items and explaining in a speech where the foods originated.  The students had a blast planning what foods to bring then sharing with the class.

Leo the Drug Free Lion – Leo the Drug Free Lion visited Timpson Elementary School to provide a prevention education program on alcohol, tobacco and other drugs.  The purpose of the program is to be effective in reducing the number of adolescents who abuse chemicals and become addicted through educating children, adolescents and parents about how to utilize skills effectively in handling the pressures surrounding  alcohol, tobacco and other drug abuse.
