Calling all library books! It’s time to come home. Check backpacks, desks, and bedside tables—let’s get them back where they belong!

The garden is growing more and more each day! We even have strawberries 🍓 starting to come in. The students are so excited to watch everything grow!



The 21st Century After-School Program had a remarkable year with Science Alliance of Eastern North Carolina, providing students with engaging hands-on STEM experiences that inspired learning, creativity, and teamwork.



As we close another wonderful year of the 21st Century After-School Program, we are grateful for the memories, growth, and success we shared together. We will truly miss our amazing fifth-grade students as they move on to new adventures, and we are so proud of all they have accomplished. Thank you to our supportive families for your encouragement and partnership throughout the year—it has made this journey even more special.

💙✨ It’s Teacher Appreciation Week! ✨💙
This week, we’re celebrating the heart, dedication, patience, creativity, and love our teachers pour into our students every single day. 🍎📚
Students and families from across our district sent in video messages to help us say one big, heartfelt THANK YOU. To make sure every school community can be celebrated together, we’ve combined the messages into one special video per school, and we’ll be sharing them throughout the week. 🎥🏫
These videos are filled with smiles, gratitude, and reminders of the incredible impact teachers make far beyond the classroom. 💛
To every teacher: thank you for showing up, lifting up, encouraging, inspiring, and believing in our students. You are appreciated more than words can say. 🌟
