(10/22) Congratulations to our fourth grade Gifted teacher, Mrs. Vineyard, on being a recipient of the 2026 Bright Ideas Grant funded by NE MS Electric Power Association and NE SPARC.

(10/21) Our top 4th grade fundraiser earner, Lucas Miller, traded in his student role for the principal’s office today! From keeping everyone in line and conducting teacher observations to announcing checkouts over the intercom, Lucas took his job seriously and kept things running smoothly! We loved seeing him step into this leadership role and have a little fun along the way. Way to go, Lucas! We hope you enjoyed your day as Principal!

(10/21) Students who raised $150 or more during our recent fundraiser cashed in on a sweet reward today with a special limo ride to Corner Cravings for delicious snow cones!
We are so proud of our Warriors, and so thankful for everyone who helped make our fundraiser a success!

(10/20 STEM students put their creativity and problem-solving skills to work by building churches and robots! We love seeing our Little Warriors dream big, think outside the box, and bring their ideas to life!

(10/9) This past Thursday, Mrs. Tutor's class geared up for Fall Break by playing a classic game of Jenga with a slight twist. Each block corresponded with an ELA question. In order to get a point for the team, the question had to be answered correctly. The kids thoroughly enjoyed this game.

(10/9) What better way to start Fall Break than with snacks, good books, and few games after working hard on benchmarks all week? Ms. Spicer's students say there is NOTHING BETTER!

(10/9) Mrs. Heatherly's math students are learning area and perimeter. They played a game of Area Tetris, where they drew an area card and had to find all the dimensions that equal that area. Then, they had to find the best spot for their chosen dimensions to fill up their grid first. The goal was to have as few empty boxes as possible at the end.
