Learning takes flight on field trip
On March 29, the fifth grade classes at K.B. Sutton Elementary visited the Museum of
Aviation in Warner Robins. The children had the opportunity to see many of the airplanes
that were used during World War II. One of the most exciting parts of the field trip was
being able to get inside an airplane to see the controls up close. Mrs. Elizabeth Tuckers

To raise money for K.B. Sufton's 4th grade field trip to
the Georgia Aquarium, a Kiss a Pig fundraiser was
held. Teachers and students could "vote" for the fac-
ulty member they wanted to kiss a pig by donating
money into that person's container. The faculty mem-
bers that the students and staff could choose were
Mrs. Sandy Watson, Mrs. Becky Brown, Mrs. Megan
Smallwood, Mrs. Brittany Bagwell, Coach Jason
Morrow, Mrs. Misti Sikes, and Ms. Joanne Binns. The
race between Coach Jason Morrow and Ms. Joanne
Binns was within a few dollars. Ms. Joanne Binns

kissed a tiny pig from Sweet Basil Farms. Overall, the
fundraiser brought in a little over $300.
