🎃🏚️ Spooky Sweet Creations at Edna W. Runner Tutorial Center! 🍬👻

Who says gingerbread houses are just for Christmas? Our creative kiddos have been busy putting a haunted twist on this classic activity!

Today, our students worked in groups to design and decorate Halloween gingerbread houses. The results? Absolutely BOO-tiful! From candy corn roofs to pretzel stick fences guarding against imaginary zombies, their creativity was off the charts!

But it wasn't just about the final products. The real magic happened in the teamwork and laughter shared as our students collaborated, problem-solved, and let their imaginations run wild. It was heartwarming to see friendships strengthened and new bonds formed over icing and gummy worms!

We're incredibly grateful to Publix for their generous donation of supplies that made this deliciously fun activity possible. And a big shout-out to all our amazing donors who continue to support programs like these. Your contributions bring joy, learning, and unforgettable experiences to our students every day!

These are the moments that make our center so special - where learning meets fun, and every day is an opportunity for growth and connection.

It's Election Day and our students have loved creating an election of their favorite - pizza or Golden Corral! Check out our results on the post today. 🙂

As we approach the Holiday Giving season, we embrace the vision of the Edna W. Runner Tutorial Center and our mission. Our annual Holiday Shop-A-Thon is an amazing experience for the students to learn the joy of giving gifts to the people they love. The students work hard all year to have the opportunity to choose from a series of donated gifts to give to their family and teacher. The pride our children have when choosing a gift to bring to their family is so wonderful to experience. They take their time and pick out just the right thing. They learn the joy of giving. Check our Amazon Wish list here: www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2QVVJ4NK3W2CM/ref=hz_ls_biz_ex?blm_aid=1469441

We need your help to make this year special. If you can volunteer or provide gifts, please let us know! The list is below. We are accepting donations and items until Friday, December 9. Thank you.

🍽️ BREAKING NEWS: The Great Lunch Election Results are in! 🗳️

Hold onto your forks, folks! We've just witnessed a landslide victory in the most delicious election of the year at Edna W. Runner Tutorial Center! 🏆

🥇 Golden Corral: 47 votes
🥈 Pizza: 7 votes

In a surprising turn of events, our young food critics have spoken, and they're saying, "Pass the buffet, please!" Golden Corral didn't just win; it absolutely feasted on the competition! 🍗🥩🍤

Poor pizza found itself in a cheesy situation, getting a slice of humble pie in this culinary showdown. Looks like our kids are thinking outside the box... the pizza box, that is! 🍕😅 We do still love our pizza friends. The adventure of traveling to feast on diverse foods may have weighed heavy with the voters!

We thank all of our volunteers for your support. Today we hope you take time to vote. No tutoring today. 😉

So, why is Election Day on the first Tuesday in November? Did you know?

The 28th Congress passed a federal law in 1845 designating Election Day as "the first Tuesday following the first Monday in November," according to the U.S. Vote Foundation.

Before this, states could previously hold elections over 34 days before the first Wednesday in December.

States that held their elections early in that timeframe would publish results — influencing the outcome of election results other states with elections later in the allotted period.

Behind the scenes: Tuesday and November were each chosen out of convenience to farmers, per History.com's Evan Andrews.

"Since people often traveled at least a day to vote, lawmakers needed to allow a two-day window for Election Day," Andrews wrote. "Weekends were impractical, since most people spent Sundays in church, and Wednesday was market day for farmers."
By November, the harvest was complete and winter weather hadn't started.

Spring and early summer elections would have interfered with farmers' planting season, while late summer and early fall overlapped with the harvest.

🧠 Brilliant Minds at Work: Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience. Visits Edna W. Runner Tutorial Center! 🔬

We're absolutely thrilled to share an exciting update from our STEM program! Today, our kindergarten and first-grade students had an incredible opportunity to dive into the fascinating world of neuroscience, thanks to the amazing scientists from Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience.

Our little scientists were wide-eyed and full of questions as they learned all about the brain. It was truly inspiring to see their curiosity spark and grow throughout this hands-on experience. This is exactly the kind of engaging, real-world learning that our STEM program aims to provide!

A huge THANK YOU to the Max Planck Florida Institute team for sharing their knowledge and passion with our students. You've planted seeds of scientific wonder that will continue to grow! 🌱🧪

We're also incredibly grateful to the Stiles-Nicholson Foundation and J&S Pew Family Foundation for making the "Ask Max" program possible. Your support allows world-class scientists to visit our center, creating unforgettable learning experiences for our students. You're helping us nurture the next generation of innovators and problem-solvers!

These partnerships and programs are vital in expanding our STEM curriculum and opening new doors of opportunity for our students. Together, we're inspiring young minds and shaping future leaders in science and technology.

Thank you to everyone involved in making this day so special and educational for our students. We can't wait to see where their curiosity takes them next!
