Hi from Mrs. Christa's Cuties! We are the only all girl class at Olive Branch Elementary in Olive Branch, Mississippi. There is one all boys class too! Our state flower and tree is the Magnolia. It is very HOT here most of the year. The name Mississippi comes from a Native American word that means "Great Water". Our state beverage is milk!
