Ready for the big game? Our students & staff rocked their favorite shade of blue today — which blue are you?
We're celebrating the leaders whose courage, creativity, and resilience show our students what’s possible. We hope every student can see themselves in these role models.
Have you heard of One Word for Kids? This charming story follows Stevie on his first day of school as he learns the power of choosing a single word to guide the year. After reading, our 5th graders picked a word that motivates them — and we hope they have the best year ever!
Guess who we celebrated today? Mrs. Missy Griffin! During National School Counselor Appreciation Week, WPS surprised her with some goodies to show how thankful we are. Mrs. Griffin does so much for our students, teachers, and families — from guidance and support to everyday encouragement. We’re so grateful for everything she brings to our school community. Thank you, Mrs. Griffin!
Did someone say snow day + study time? We loved seeing students and families make the most of this winter week—playing outside, laughing together, and even squeezing in some remote learning. What snowy memory made you smile this week? Share a photo or story below!
We will have our next Car Line Coffee Fundraiser on Friday, Feb. 13. We greatly appreciate your support!
Ready for some Friday fun? Free Choice Friday had students choosing a lively game of dodgeball with Coach Lilley to kick off the weekend! It’s amazing how a few minutes of movement and teamwork can lift spirits and build friendships.
Have you seen our MIEP students with their instruments yet? This is our first year offering elementary band, and Mr. P has them learning so much already. We’re so proud of how confidently they’re showing off what they’ve learned — heartwarming performances and big smiles all around!
Want to see students lead with empathy and confidence? A group of 3rd and 4th grade MIEP students are taking Peer Mediation training with the Mediation Center of Eastern North Carolina. These students will learn active listening and conflict-resolution skills so that they can help classmates work out disagreements peacefully.
Curious about Free-Choice Fridays? Some of our MIEP students tried an introductory crochet class — they made some beautiful, unique designs and supported one another every step of the way. It was a joyful day of learning for both students and teachers!
Ever seen coordinate geometry come to life? Our 5th grade students programmed Spheros to navigate the first quadrant, learned to add a delay for perfect 90° turns, and worked in teams to solve real-time challenges. They connected this hands-on experience to ELA discussions about the value of technology in learning. These future engineers and mathematicians were 100% engaged

What a joyful day! On Thursday, Jan. 22 we celebrated our scholars for the 2nd 9 weeks and recognized students across many achievements — Terrific Kid, Math Masters, Rockstar Reader, Honor Roll, Principal’s List, and more. We are so proud of their dedication and growth!
Want to see science in motion? Big thanks to Mrs. Amy Bennett for coming in to help our 4th graders experiment with Spheros today! They investigated energy transfer by adjusting robot speed — and walked away buzzing with curiosity.
Recognition in action: Thank you to Ms. Sharon Godard (Mary Kay consultant) and Mrs. Griffin for organizing a hand and lip treatment session to pamper our teachers. Thoughtful gestures like this support staff well‑being and boost morale—small investments with meaningful returns.
We are here to help! If you need assitance with your MIEP or MIMS application, please come on out and see our team. We will be here until 6:00. We would love to see you!
