Join us on Monday, September 8th for Grits for Grandparents!

September is Suicide Prevention Month. During this month, we would like to promote awareness, understanding, and hope. We will share ideas with students around kindness, belonging, asking for help, and taking care of their feelings. If you or someone you know needs support now, call or text 988 or chat 988lifeline.org (more info can be found here as well). Remember, here at Inquiry, YOU ARE NEVER ALONE!


We were so glad to have De’Imari Cockrell and Trevais Wilmore from the Chester Cyclones Football Team join us this morning as Greeters in our carline. They did a wonderful job. Go Cycs!






Huge congratulations to Avery Smith in Ms. Graham's 2nd grade class! She has been selected as the Student of the Month in PE for the month of September. Avery always displays the best attitude and is truly the definition of a team player. Keep up the great work, Avery — we are SO proud of you, Shining Star! 🌟

Happy Friday! Just a quick reminder: there will be no school on Monday in observance of the Labor Day holiday. Enjoy your long weekend!

Ms. Adkins’ class had a cooking lesson today and made elephant pancakes!
