Our school counselors, Miss. Marshall and Mr. Hobgood, do so much for our students each day in more ways than you may know because they believe that every student needs a school counselor who believes in and cares about them. We are excited to celebrate them for National School Counseling Week. Thank you Miss. Marshall and Mr. Hobgood! #NSCW25

Check out Ms. Potts' Kindergarten class, they're designing and testing a model for their science question, “What weather elements made the pole wet on one side but dry on the other?” They used spray bottles to represent rain and a fan to represent wind and discovered that it was a combination of the two elements that made this happen. Great work, scientists!
