All the feels 💙
We love being a school where our littles look up to our bigs! These special moments remind us just how proud we are of the leaders our middle schoolers are.
Leadership isn’t a single moment—it’s showing up day by day, caring for others, and setting the example. And our students do just that. 💫

Before spring break, Nikeema Lee from Mahaba Floristry visited our classroom. She taught students about how plants grow and what they need to survive, introducing scientific terms like H₂O, carbon dioxide, germinate, and drainage. Students also learned how caring for plants helps them grow strong and healthy. 🌸

4th grade stepped back in time with a visit to Walnut Grove! 🕯️🏡
During their guided tour, students explored historic buildings and learned about the Moore Family, their settlement in the South Carolina Backcountry, their role in the Revolutionary War, and what everyday life looked like during Colonial times.
Students also participated in a candle-making class, discovering how candles were made and used in early American homes. It was a great hands-on way to bring history to life!

On Friday, students who reached their iReady Winter goals celebrated their hard work and success with a Silent Disco! Students who met one of their stretch goals in Reading or Math received a glow stick, and those who met both their Reading and Math goals received LED glasses.
Everyone had an amazing time grooving to the music and celebrating their achievements together. We look forward to recognizing even more student success after our spring round of iReady testing!
