What a jam-packed Friday at our school! We kicked off the day with a Car Line Coffee fundraiser featuring some of our MIEP students as baristas — such a proud moment! Students who earned 80% positive behavior got to shop the Tiger Trolley and pick a cool toy. We wrapped up the evening with an energetic Sneaker Ball Dance.
A huge THANK YOU to our parents and community for all your support — we couldn’t do it without you!

Curious minds at work! Mrs. Wilder’s kindergarten class finished their unit on How Plants Grow and they planted “Candy Canes”! We’re excited to watch their little scientists observe, care for, and (hopefully) harvest a special Christmas surprise. Will candy canes really grow? Follow along for updates and photos from our Christmas Harvest
How do you make math delicious? Mrs. Wilder’s kindergarten class partnered up for a “Cereal Bowl” math game — students took turns guessing how many Fruit Loops were hidden under a cup, using “1 more” strategies and comparing counting techniques. After the game, they decided the best part was enjoying the cereal together!
Bus 224 is running behind schedule.
What a morning! Huge thanks to Ms. Beth Griffin for leading our Magnifying Monday — we kicked off December with 15 kids, staff, and parents gathered in prayer and a meaningful lesson on good judgment and staying focused on Christ. It was a GREAT morning! Special shoutout to everyone who got up early in the cold to be there — your presence made a difference.
Proud moment! We’re so excited to recognize our November Students of the Month! These students were nominated by their classroom teachers for consistently being kind to others — thank you for making our school a kinder place.
Morning coffee + meaning = win! This Friday, Dec. 5 during car rider drop-off, pull up for an iced coffee served by our awesome MIEP students. Every dollar goes back to PBIS to fund fun activities that celebrate positive behavior and build school spirit. Swing by, grab a drink, and support our students! Coffee is for parents/staff only!
What a joyful week before Thanksgiving! Our kindergarteners dove into hands-on learning—hand-painted turkeys, creating “feathers of thankfulness,” making friendship bracelets, and even baking their very own apple pie treats. It was a wonderful time to explore, create, and celebrate together
Big congratulations to Randy Edwards for earning an honorable mention in the NC School Board Association Elementary Poster Contest — and a special recognition for Ms. Brielle Ridley for demonstrating the monthly character trait of kindness! We are so proud of these students and the positive example they set.
We hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday! Check out our weekly newsletter!

Students in Mrs. Beach's class read Balloons Over Broadway and then built an entire street! Next, each student designed their own parade balloon and used magnets to push or pull it down the parade route. It was a fantastic mix of reading, design, and hands-on STEAM learning.
Looking for a feel-good moment? Iris and Ke’Shaun just added toys from Knox’s class to our Toys for Tots drive — and every gift brings a smile to a child this season! Want to join them? Drop off a new, unwrapped toy or share this post to help us collect even more!
Mrs. Beach & Mrs. Knox recently presented at the EC conference in Greensboro. They showcased the Exceptionally STEAM initiative that brings science, technology, engineering, arts, and math to students with disabilities served in self contained settings. They discussed aligning extended content standards and developing pacing guides to make instruction meaningful and manageable. Mrs. Beach demonstrated how she uses AI to create interactive books and embed core board vocabulary for students with limited verbal skills, and Mrs. Knox shared powerful collaborative activities between her students and students in the Martin Innovative Elementary Program.
