Mrs. Ellis passed the Hawk to Mrs. Justice, sharing, “She is someone who puts her ALL into teaching. She sets high expectations and supports students to reach those expectations. She began as my teacher but ended up as a co-worker and friend.”
Congratulations, Mrs. Justice! We are so grateful for your dedication and the way you support your students and colleagues.

"Moo-velous" Math Practice!
Ms. Sultan’s 1st graders have officially adopted a cow! Her name is Raven, and she lives on a farm in Madison, GA.
Each month, students receive virtual updates—complete with photos and videos—to follow Raven's growth. They’re even estimating her height from month to month as part of their learning!
A big thank you to the Adopt-A-Cow program through Discover Dairy for making this experience possible!
It’s Dino-vember in the Media Center!
Our PreK and Kindergarten students learned about the mighty Apatosaurus — a dinosaur that stood 19 feet tall, stretched as long as a bowling lane, and even used its tail like a whip to keep predators away! Here are students from Mrs. Tippens', Mrs. Dilbeck's, and Mrs. Anderson's classrooms getting hands-on with snap cubes to measure dino lengths and compare which dinosaur was the biggest.
