📸 Picture Day Update!
Due to the power outage last week, several students missed their photo sessions — including all of 2nd (except Mrs. Williams' class), 4th, 5th grades, and Pakozdy’s PM class.
We’ve rescheduled Carolina Photography to return on Tuesday, September 2nd, to take pictures for those students, as well as anyone who was absent on the original day.
Thanks for your patience and understanding!


There will be no school on Monday, September 1st in observance of Labor Day.
Enjoy the long weekend and we’ll see everyone back on Tuesday!🎉

We’ve been diving into the world of force and motion, and our young scientists are putting their knowledge to the test! 💡
👷♀️👷♂️ Students are working together to design and build their very own free-standing marble runs — exploring teamwork, creativity, and the physics behind motion. 🎢💥
It’s hands-on learning at its best, and we couldn’t be more proud of their curiosity and collaboration! 💙




Your dedication and hard work over the summer truly shine—way to go!
🏅 Student Superstars:
Lewis Hinnant, Charles Darby, Lilybell Brewer, Dalton Catledge, Haven Land, Raylan Ayers, Ansleigh Ayers, Jeremiah Riley, Slate Brewer, Finley Rupe, Lillian Carson, Waylon Ernandez, Ja’layla McCrorey, Kai Wade, Stetson Brewer, Adrian Fourney, Izabella Starnes
