Owl starts with an "O"! PreK had Show and Tell today with things that begin with the letter "O". Items included orange sunglasses, an owl book, and an egg laid by an Olive Egger Chicken. Fun fact for ya!! Olive Eggers are a breed of chicken that typically lay various shades of olive colored eggs. They are created by crossing a dark brown egg layer with a blue egg layer.🥚 PreK students ended the morning activity with an olive tasting, in which students voted on black olives as the best. 😊





Where did that six weeks go? Report cards will go home with students tomorrow. 55 days until summer!! 😊


Not all Superheroes wear capes. Some wear pink shoes, hold wands, and are in PreK!! Mrs. Kirkendall presented Ellie with the Ultimate Superhero award for her amazing leadership skills. Way to go!! 😊


Ahoy, Me Hearties!! Dr. Pirate Petey here!! I asked Nurse Pam to speak with her 1st graders today about the importance of caring for their teeth. Did you know that children’s teeth are meant to last a lifetime, and a healthy smile is important to a child’s self-esteem? With proper care, a balanced diet, and regular dental visits, their teeth can remain healthy and strong. 😊





Everyday matters at the elementary!! Students with Perfect Attendance for the 4th six weeks had their names drawn for a prize today. Way to go kiddos!!😊

Weathering, and erosion, and deposition, oh my! Fifth graders modeled how agents of change help to create landforms, such as sand dunes, deltas, and canyons. Mrs. Odom jokingly said, "My room is filled with sand and dirt, but they were fascinated with how it all turned out.😊
