Science fun in Mrs. Georgia's class!
Students explored the Properties of Matter in a hands-on way. They began by comparing textures, hardness, color, and rigidity of different objects like pencils, nuts, tools, acorns, tissues, blankets, and even squishable fidgets.
Then, they dove into a sweet experiment with M&Ms, which they sorted by color, compared sizes, and discussed their texture, smell, and taste — discovering that all of these are characteristics of matter.

Everybody loves a parade! Last night's Homecoming Parade was absolutely terrific!
A special shout-out to our amazing team at Hill City who worked so hard to create our school float — and its winning message: "Hawks & Dragons Tackle Cancer!" And how cool was it to see our very own Mrs. Amanda Abbott at the start of the parade, waving proudly as Pickens County's Teacher of the Year?!
We are so proud of the spirit, teamwork, and heart that went into making this happen. Way to go, Hill City!

Apple Adventures in PreK!
Students in Mrs. Hamilton's PreK enjoyed exploring all things apples during small group rotations! They practiced counting quantities, got creative by constructing their own apple crafts, and even became little scientists as they tested ramps using apples of different sizes.
