Dewar Elementary School

Dewar fifth graders had ❄️ SNOW ❄️ much fun reviewing math skills before their test! Their classroom became a winter wonderland where students flurried through problems, collaborated like pros, and proved that learning is so COOL! ⛄️❄️🧮 ☃️

Early Dismissal on Friday, December 19th!

Mrs. Singletary's and Ms. E's class learned about Christmas Around the World. Our students learned different traditions and celebrated with Los Pasados in Mexico. They tried walking tacos, Jarritos Mandarin soda, and Maria cookies. Feliz Navidad!

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!
