Today, our Kindergarten through 2nd grade Cubs helped send our 3rd–5th grade students into testing with lots of encouragement and support!
Our littlest Cubs lined the playground with handmade signs, bubbles, music, and cheers to encourage our test takers as they walked through. Every 3-5 student even received a piece of bubblegum!
Encouraging signs from our young cubs and staff are posted throughout Rodgers as we work together to build confidence and support our students during EOG testing. We are proud of our Cubs and know they are ready to shine! 🐾✨
Our 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade Cubs have been working hard all year, and we can't wait to see them show what they know on the End-of-Grade tests!

For our rising 6th grade musicians:

Note: Camp is open to all rising 6th–8th grade band students in Martin County.
Our 4th graders learned the science behind how kites fly! Students explored the four forces needed for successful flight (lift, drag, tension, and weight) just like airplanes use. ✈️ Then, they designed and built their own bird kites and put them to the test! What a fun way to bring science to life! 💙🐾
A huge thank you to our community partner, Jersey Mike’s Subs, for visiting our school today and delivering cards for free subs to our teachers, staff, and students! Our Cubs were so excited and enjoyed talking with the representatives. We are so thankful for our amazing community partners and look forward to more opportunities to work together in the future! 🐾✨
