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!
Mrs. Smith's second grade class has been hard at work this week! They’ve been learning to identify nouns, verbs, and adjectives in sentences. Plus, they've been building, writing, and blending words while practicing their sight words.

Mrs. Dittmer chose to honor Kellie Henson, sharing these kind words:
"She is a true leader of our team. If she doesn’t know the answer to a question, she will go out of her way to find the answer or help with whatever issues arise. She always greets you with a warm smile, a cheerful 'HELLO,' and a chipper attitude that makes everyone feel welcome."
Thank you, Mrs. Henson, for everything you do each day to support our students and staff. We are so grateful for you!

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.

Learning to look closely! Mrs. Justice's ELA 4th graders worked in teams to spot key details that help uncover the central idea.
Make your mark! Just like Vashti in "The Dot" by Peter H. Reynolds, our students explored creativity and problem-solving with Ms. Emma in the Computer & STEM Lab. Fourth graders tackled the "Wrecking Ball" challenge to learn about force and motion, 2nd and 3rd graders added the "A" for Art in STEAM with dot creations, and our kindergartners predicted and tested whether a 2D or 3D "dot" would sink or float.
Homecoming Spirit Week starts on Monday! Students may dress up in the day's theme, if they wish.
