Dewar fifth graders love math a latte!! ☕️ Coffee shop vibes set the stage to engage as students were served freshly brewed math problems. ☕️ Who needs caffeine when you've got math to wake you up?! ☕️🔥➗✖️
BIG thanks to Red Owl 🦉 for their support in making this fun day of math a reality! ❤️

5th-grade students had a wild time at the Jacksonville Zoo! They spotted lions, tigers, and boars—oh my! By getting an up-close look at animals and their habitats, they experienced learning in a whole new way. The students were full of curiosity, teamwork, and smiles all day long, making it the perfect mix of fun and discovery—an adventure they won’t soon forget! 🌿🐅🐗

Mrs. Morris and Mrs. Trina's Kindergarten class have their eyes on the prize by wearing their special reading glasses. These magical glasses turned these kindergarteners into super readers.

Our Girls on the Run team absolutely crushed their practice 5K! 🌟 Their determination, grit, and big smiles all the way through made the whole evening feel electric. Having parents and teachers lining the route, cheering them on, and even running with them, meant the world to the girls — your support lifted their spirits and pushed them to keep going.

We’re so excited for the 5K this Saturday at 8:00 AM at the courthouse. We can’t wait to see the girls shine!

The Scholastic Book Fair is coming!
Please SAVE THE DATE for November 17-21 and get your reader psyched to pick out their own books! Start exploring together!
