First Grade Fun with Adjectives!
Our first graders in Mrs. Porter’s and Mrs. Threlkeld’s classes are learning about adjectives with help from Spookley the Square Pumpkin! Students brainstormed adjectives to describe Spookley, created their own unique pumpkins, and enjoyed a special Spookley-themed snack to accompany the story.

Champions of the Classroom

Families of recognized students have been notified, and our faculty and staff are invited to join in the celebration. We are proud to honor these outstanding academic achievements with our entire community — true Champions of the Classroom!

50th DAY OF SCHOOL
Our Pre-K students marked the 50th day of school in style last Friday! They enjoyed Coke floats, games, and plenty of fun as they celebrated this milestone together.
As we recognize this important week, we join our partners at the Lafayette County Sheriff’s Department in reminding everyone to stay alert and follow school bus safety laws:
🔴 Red Lights Mean STOP – All traffic in both directions must stop when a bus has its stop arm extended and red lights flashing.
🟡 Yellow Lights Mean SLOW DOWN – The bus is preparing to stop, so please be cautious and ready.
Every stop matters. Failing to stop for a school bus isn’t just against the law—it endangers our students. Let’s work together to keep every child in Lafayette County safe on their way to and from school. 💛❤️
We're wishing our swim team the best of luck at the state meet tomorrow in Tupelo.
