March is Youth Art Month!
Students in Mrs. Godwin’s 3rd-grade classes have been learning about area and perimeter. They used stuffed animals and created a pen for them. Then they found the area and perimeter of their animal’s pen. This was a fun, hands-on way to be the owner of a make-believe pet and determine how much fencing would be needed to make a pen for their animal.
March is Youth Art Month!
Congratulations to February's Teacher and Staff Member of the Month, Ms. Melanie Graham and Deputy Kathi Bair!

Using square tiles, Mrs. Umpleby’s 3rd-grade students designed and built animal cages with the correct area to make sure their “animals” didn’t escape. Through this hands-on activity, they learned that area is the space inside a shape and that we can find it by multiplying the length × width.
After building their own enclosure, students walked around the room measuring their classmates’ cages, checking the length and width to calculate each area. So much collaboration, movement, and real-world math thinking happening all at once!

Ms. Herman's Pre-K researchers have been hard at work celebrating Black History Month! Together with their parents, they chose an influential African American contributor and created a poster presentation to share with the class and parents!
Students in Ms. Swopes’ second grade put their knowledge of Black History figures to the test with a high-energy game of BOOM!
After learning about a different historical figure each day, students listened carefully as a description was read aloud. They had to stay focused… and when Ms. Swopes said the magic word “BOOM!” they raced to grab the correct name card! The fastest correct answer moved on to the next round.
From leaders like Martin Luther King Jr. to trailblazers like Rosa Parks, these students showed they were truly listening, learning, and making connections.
