🦋 Butterfly Lifecycle Studies in Miss Stevens’ First Grade! 🦋
Miss Stevens’ first graders have been busy scientists over the past few weeks as they explored the amazing lifecycle of a butterfly!
The students began their project with tiny caterpillars and showed wonderful care and responsibility as they watched them grow and change. They carefully observed each stage as the caterpillars formed their chrysalises and patiently waited for the incredible transformation into butterflies.
Today marked a special moment as the class released their very last butterfly into the world! 🦋✨ It was a joyful celebration of learning, patience, and the wonders of nature! 🌿💛






Students from Mr. Riddle’s Ag class partnered with our Pre-K students for a hands-on planting lesson as part of their seed study. The Ag students took the lead in planning and guiding the activities, creating a meaningful learning experience for everyone involved.
Our Pre-K students colored their own “homes” and planted grass to grow a yard, while also working together to plant flowers in the planter box that Ag students built for the school a few years ago. 🌸
This was a great opportunity for our Ag students to step into leadership roles and for our youngest learners to explore through hands-on experiences! 🪴




Finally, the Titan JH Tracksters were able to have an outdoor. The wind became brutal, and ushered in biting cold temperatures after what started as a warm day. Titans did a great job and found success in the harsh elements, we are very proud of you all!!

Good Luck Jeremiah!

🖤❤️Today we celebrate two incredible women who keep our school running smoothly every single day, our Administrative Professionals, Denise and Angi!
Denise, our amazing school secretary, is often the first face you see and the voice you hear. She keeps our days organized, our students cared for, and our school connected. From answering calls to calming worries and everything in between, she does it all.
Angi, our dedicated business manager, works behind the scenes to make sure everything functions as it should. From budgets to details most of us never even see, her work keeps our school moving.
Denise and Angi, we are so grateful for your hard work and the care you show our students, staff, and community. Our school simply wouldn’t be the same without you! 👏
Happy Administrative Professionals Day! 🥳
