Mac El and Pipe Creek - March 13, 2026
This has certainly been a busy week—from adjusting to the time change to ending the week with some wild winds! We hope you all have a relaxing weekend to recharge and get ready for the week ahead. With only four days of school before Spring Break, students are naturally feeling extra excited. Please continue to help your child get plenty of rest each night. A good night’s sleep helps students stay regulated, focused, and ready to learn during the school day. We truly appreciate all you do at home to support your child’s learning and success.
Next week’s weather looks like it may bring everything from warm temperatures to the possibility of snow. Please keep an eye on the forecast and make sure your child comes to school with appropriate clothing for the day, including recess. Once the warmer weather arrives, students are eager to switch to shorts, but mornings can still be quite chilly. Helping them dress in layers can make a big difference in keeping them comfortable throughout the day.
Pre-K: Carson Dittfield
Carson joined our class about a month ago and has already made such a wonderful transition to our school. He comes to class ready to learn, works hard to complete his activities, and always tries his best. He is a kind friend who treats everyone with respect and enjoys helping others. We are so happy to have him in our class and are proud of the positive example he sets each day. Keep up the great work!

Novaleigh comes to school ready to learn each day! She works hard and is a great example to others! She is helpful, kind, and has the biggest heart for others! We are blessed to have her in our class!
2nd Grade: Alivia Liehr
Alivia was chosen for Brave of the Week because she is a very hardworking second grader. Alivia tries her best every day. She is a great example to her fellow students on how to have Brave behavior. She comes to school every day with a smile on her face and is ready to make each day amazing. Keep up the hard work, Miss Alivia!
3rd Grade: Mia Gilbreath
Mia is such a kind kid. She may be quiet, but her heart is so big. These last few days, Mia has helped a friend through some tough times and was the rock the classmate needed! Mia isn’t afraid to ask questions when she doesn’t understand and works so hard to do her best! She showed perseverance and hard work during IREAD and the checkpoints these last two weeks! I’m so proud of her and her drive, not only in school but also to be a great friend!
4th Grade: Piper Farthing
Piper is a shining example of what it means to be a Brave! She brings kindness, positivity, and a bright smile to our classroom every single day. Piper works hard, gives her best effort, and faces challenges with determination and a great attitude. Throughout 4th grade, Piper has shown wonderful growth, and this year she is even stepping outside her comfort zone by trying drama! Her willingness to try new things and her positive spirit make our classroom a happier place. We are so lucky to have Piper in our class. Keep shining, Piper, we are proud of you!
5th Grade: Dexter Snow
Dexter was nominated for Brave of the Week for being dependable. We can depend on Dexter to help a friend, show integrity, and sometimes even start singing the National Anthem during a Social Studies lesson! He is a bright spot in our classroom, and I know he will continue to shine throughout his time as a Brave and beyond. Keep doing what you're doing, Dexter! I’m so proud of you!
