Just for Students and Teachers!

Did you know?

The “apple Polishing” custom hails from little red school houses of yore. Young children sought to win their teacher’s favor with a bright, shiny apple when their math skills were less than exemplary. Remember this song? “An apple for the teacher will always do the trick when you don’t know your arithmetic.”
Apples are grown in every state in the continental United States and grown commercially in 36 states.
About 2,500 known varieties of apples are grown in the United States and more than 7,500 varieties are grown worldwide.
The story that Newton discovered the law of gravity after watching an apple fall from a tree is probably backwards. It is thought to have evolved from his use of an apple’s fall to illustrate the pull of gravity.
