Lee Ann Perez/ One Ash Farm & Dairy: We have kids! The couple of warm days last
week were the perfect time for our Nubian goats to have their babies.
Each of our girls had twins so we have a whole new group of little floppy
eared kids bouncing around the pasture. It's always such a blessing to
watch (and sometimes help) with the birth of these little darlings. We
will certainly enjoy watching them grow up! We will have a Farmers Market
table with our Raw Milk, fresh baked bread, soaps and salves at the Strom Thurmond
High Ag Day on Saturday March 14th we would love to have you
stop by and visit! Have a blessed week.

The
stomach bug has been making it rounds, finally getting Leagrace and her
mom. LG had to spend several days at the
GRU PICU, and her mommy couldn’t visit for the first few days. Nana and her daddy had to fill in. My dad busted out of the rehab (HealthSouth)
last Friday for a few days of respite at home before returning to LMC for the
insertion of a port and chemo treatments.
There’s nothing quite like being at home with your family when you’re
feeling bad. We appreciate your
continued prayers and support as we battle these illnesses.
Schools
in our state have been administering the ACCESS test to all ESL students with
language proficiency levels 1-4. This
test measures their progress and proficiency in the English language in the

data collected, ESL teachers will be able to help content area teachers
understand the proficiency of each child and how to help all ESL students be
successful in the classroom.
