La Tijera students received a special visitor thanks to second grade teacher Ms. Norwood.

This Farm-to-Table lesson in language arts, math, and science was integrated to teach the students:
- The anatomy of a dairy cow
- How milk gets from a cow to their school or home.
- The agricultural technology used on dairy farms
- The many different foods made from milk
Students learned the nutritional value of dairy products and identified choices from the milk group that they include in their diets. They were also treated to a demonstration on how to milk a cow.

SAFETY FIRST:
The Great California ShakeOut
Featuring: Inglewood High School
Residents in California are more likely to experience an earthquake than other parts of the country. As an ongoing commitment to student safety, IUSD students participate annually in the Great California ShakeOut.
Organizers created the event to raise awareness for earthquake preparedness and to encourage communities, schools, and families to review emergency plans, replenish supplies, and update emergency contact lists.
Preparation is key. Depending on what action you take now will determine your quality of life after an earthquake. A special thank you to Principal Tate for continuing the tradition of safety at Inglewood High School. To read more about earthquake safety click on the link below.
