Mrs. Byrum supports our students in countless ways, helping them grow emotionally, socially, and academically while creating a school culture rooted in care, kindness, and connection. Her work touches every corner of our school, and we are so thankful for the heart she brings to Rodgers every day.
We proudly celebrated our 2nd nine week scholars on Friday at Rodgers Elementary! It was a wonderful time recognizing students for their hard work, academic growth, and positive character. We are so proud of our students and grateful for the continued support of their parents and families who partner with us every step of the way. Congratulations to all of our award recipients! Keep up the amazing work!

Our top i-Ready Reading and Math performers from last week earned a fun reward today! Since we had to postpone Take Off Tuesday, students enjoyed a 3-minute snowball fight in the hall this morning while “Let It Go” played on the speakers. Lots of smiles and laughter! These i-Ready leaders earned this celebration by having passed lessons with the highest average and completing all 45 minutes. Way to work hard and soar, CUBS!
Today, Mrs. Gurganus’ class teamed up with Mrs. Byrum, our School Counselor, to focus on our last lesson on perseverance. Students reflected on an inspiring Michael Jordan quote about failure and success, learned that even legends face setbacks (yes—he didn’t make his high school basketball team!), and discussed what it truly means to never give up.
Students shared how perseverance connects to their own lives and created a class list of things that are challenging for them, but worth continuing to try. A powerful reminder that success comes from effort, resilience, and believing in yourself! 💪🏀📚 #WisdomWednesday #SEL #CharacterEducation #Perseverance
Huge congratulations to our January CUBS of the Month!
These students were nominated by their teachers for consistently demonstrating the character trait of PERSEVERANCE. We are so proud of their hard work, determination, and positive attitudes! Way to keep pushing forward, CUBS!

Staff Spotlight & Shoutout to Excellence at Rodgers Elementary!
We are so proud to celebrate two of our incredible educators who are making an impact beyond our school walls!
Mrs. Stacey Stokes showcased her leadership by sharing our schoolwide Reading Log family partnership during the Martin County Schools third grade ELA planning day. Her work highlights the power of family engagement and supports reading success for students across the county.
Mrs. Karen Troop, our fourth grade ELA teacher, recently shared her expertise on the Elevate reading intervention program with 4th and 5th grade teachers throughout Martin County Schools. Her knowledge, dedication, and willingness to lead continue to benefit both students and fellow educators.
We are so proud of how both Mrs. Stokes and Mrs. Troop represent Rodgers Elementary through leadership, collaboration, and a shared commitment to student success. Way to lead and inspire!
Even during a short week, our Cubs continue to shine! During morning announcements, we took time to PAWS for Applause and recognize students whose names were drawn from our PBIS Honey Jar for showing positive behaviors connected to our CUBS Matrix! These students were noticed for making good choices, helping others, and setting a positive example for those around them. We are so proud of the kindness, responsibility, and effort we see every day at Rodgers Elementary!
Quinn T - went above and beyond on trying his best on the the test. He made significant improvement and utilized strategies well.
Chase R - Invited another student to work with him when they had no partner
