To end the visit, Ms. Moyer’s students demonstrated their working model of the human eye where they used a magnifying lens as a model of the cornea to explore how the structure of the lens was related to the function of their eyes.

🌟Sam Dobson - Custodian at Woodrow Cummins Elementary - is a Core Values Champion for the Month of October!🌟 "Mr. Sam inspires our students and staff on a daily basis! When he notices a student's shoe is untied, he immediately bends down and offers to tie it for him/her. When he sees our cafeteria is short-handed, he just jumps right in and assists with whatever is needed. He walks around and engages in conversations with students during breakfast and lunch. When our teachers call on the walkie-talkie about a custodial need, Mr. Sam responds regardless of whether the need is in his area of responsibility or not. He is a true CHAMPION FOR KIDS!" CPSD is honored to have Mr. Sam on our team! Thank you for all that you do! #ChampionsForKids #StaffCommittedtoExcellence Video surprising Mr. Sam at Woodrow Cummins Elementary is on our Youtube Channel - https://youtu.be/1ijMVgGmrnQ
