Today we celebrated Mrs. Thomas, one of our amazing school nurses! School Nurse Appreciation Day was Tuesday, but we waited to surprise her when she was here. We called her into a room and surprised her with a special sign made by our very own Mrs. Troop. Mrs. Thomas and Mrs. Taylor are truly the heartbeats of Rodgers Elementary! 💙
This week, Rodgers Elementary celebrated our incredible teachers and staff! 💙 They were showered with love, appreciation, and plenty of sweet treats thanks to our amazing PTO, supportive families, school community, and administration. We’re so grateful for all they do each day to make Rodgers a special place to learn and grow!
Today, we proudly cheered on the Martin County High School Seniors as they walked the halls of Rodgers Elementary! Our students lined the hallways, clapped, and celebrated these soon-to-be graduates. We’re so proud of each one of them and can’t wait to see what they accomplish next! 💙💛

Mrs. Troop’s 4th graders had a blast reviewing vocabulary with an competitive game of Blooket! Learning +fun = the perfect combo!
Fourth grade took a memorable trip to Historic Halifax—home of the Halifax Resolves, the first official call for independence from Britain. Students explored history up close by touring the tavern where General Lafayette once stayed, trying out a real printing press, writing with quill pens, and visiting the clerk’s office and old jail. They even explored an active archaeological dig site and wrapped up the day walking along part of the Underground Railroad. A day full of learning, discovery, and hands-on history!
In Mrs. Leggett’s class, first graders gathered in a circle on the rug as she gave directions for their Benchmark Advance Reading and Writing tasks. This change of scenery (Instead of being at their desks) added variety to their day and kept students engaged and excited to learn - such a simple but effective strategy!
In Mrs. Dail’s class, students were locked in and learning all about triangles! With clear explanations and helpful visuals, she guided them through identifying equilateral and isosceles triangles - and they were right on it! It was awesome to see students focused, engaged, and applying their knowledge with confidence.
In Mrs. Weaver’s class, learning about equivalent fractions is exciting and intense ! Her students are engaged, confident, and eager to show what they have learned - whether writing on desks, hoping to be called on to share their work, or getting one-on-one help. She’s using every strategy to make sure they get it… and she won’t stop until they do!
Happy (belated) School Nurse Appreciation Day! 💙 Mrs. Taylor was not here yesterday so we celebrated her today with a special surprise — a custom sign made by our very own Mrs. Troop! Rodgers Elementary is lucky to have such caring and dedicated nurses supporting our students every day! 🩺
Shoutout to Mrs. Uzzell for leading an engaging Reading Horizons lesson (decoding words and adding suffixes) and working hard to make every minute count for all RES 2nd graders! In her first year of teaching, she’s already showing strong leadership and a deep commitment to student success. 💙
💙🩺 Happy School Nurse Appreciation Day! 🩺💙
