Here is a look at what our classrooms have been up to:
Life Cycles with Mrs. Terry: Her students became mini-farmers this week! They dove deep into the world of chicks, learning exactly what it takes to house, feed, and care for our feathered friends.
Artistic Flair with Mrs. McCarty: Creativity was hatching in Mrs. McCarty's room during their Egg Draw session. There were some truly "egg-ceptional" designs!
Math in Motion with Mrs. Spinks: Who says math can’t be a game? Students participated in a Math Egg Hunt, hunting down eggs to practice their addition and subtraction facts.
We are so proud of our creative teachers and hardworking students for making this week so memorable.

April is the Month of the Military Child, and we invite all students, staff, and families to "Purple Up!" on Wednesday, April 15th.
Why purple? It’s the color that symbolizes all branches of the military coming together—a blend of Army green, Marine Corps red, and Navy, Air Force, Space Force, and Coast Guard blue. By wearing purple, we show our military-connected students that we appreciate their strength, sacrifices, and resilience.
Let’s turn our hallways and classrooms into a sea of purple on April 15th!
