Magnolia Elementary was filled with positivity and encouragement this week as students arrived for ACAP testing. Teachers, administrators, and parents lined the entrance, greeting each child with smiles, high-fives, and uplifting words to help start their day with confidence.

First grade students at Paine Elementary School enjoyed an engaging and educational field trip to Old Baker Farm. The visit provided hands-on learning experiences that connected directly to classroom instruction.

Students observed baby animals, shucked corn, and explored where food comes from. They also planted sunflower seeds, reinforcing their understanding of how plants grow and change over time.

Throughout the trip, students demonstrated curiosity and strong observation skills, making it a meaningful real-world learning experience—plus a lot of fun.

It was an amazing evening of entertainment at the HTHS Indoor Percussion Ensemble’s Friends and Family Show this week! Be sure to wish this talented group of students the best of luck as they head to Atlanta, GA this weekend to compete in the GIPA Championships!
