Today Mrs. Piercys class read Sheep in a Jeep in Mrs. Piercy’s Jeep. They made a list of “ee” words and got to practice reading words with “ee.” They read the “ee” words on sheep (white balloons) and got to toss them into the Jeep. If they read the word correctly, the jeep’s horn would go beep beep!
On Friday, Kindergarten read Kindness is a Kite String. It’s a story about the power of kindness and empathy. They got to make and decorate their own kites!🪁
March was a very busy and fun month for Mrs. Harper's 1st Graders! They learned about 2D and partnered up in a STEM activity to build 3D shapes. They got a visit from a leprechaun, who somehow managed to avoid getting caught in their family project leprechaun traps. First graders love science, especially when you get to do a rainbow experiment 🌈
Our Spring Garden 1st Graders got to thank Mr. Leon Adams and Adams Farms for sponsoring them with Ag in the Classroom. He brought some cool pictures of their farm and seeds of various crops. The kids have really enjoyed monthly lessons and fun activities!
If you noticed any little doctors at the elementary building today it was probably Mrs. Thomson's 2nd graders! They enjoyed different medical themed learning activities!
This week Ms. Gibson's classes incorporated art with math. It was fun to see the optical illusions they created!
Beginning April 4, the elementary building will be opening the concession stand on Friday afternoons for students. Candy will be sold at $2 each and soda will be sold at a $1 each. All proceeds will go towards field trips.
Don't forget to order your 2024-25 yearbook!

Due to the predicted severe weather for this afternoon, we will be dismissing early at 2:00pm. just like we do on Fridays. Elementary School car riders will start dismissing at 1:45, buses will leave the ES at 2:00, and Middle School car riders will start dismissing at 1:55. There will be no evening activities, so no Good News Club.
Congratulations to McKinley Kniffen (1st place), Violet Cates (2nd place), and Jaxson Warren (3rd place)! They wrote essays on patriotism through a contest from the Mt. Vernon Elks.
McKinley’s essay was sent onto the Southern Central District level and she won at that level. Her essay has now gone onto the state level and she is waiting to hear how she places in that.
We are so proud of these three students! Way to go!
