Celebrating Service, School Spirit, and a season of gratitude

October kept our Eagles busy! From reading with young learners to welcoming families and serving our community , students and staff created meaningful moments together. As we move into November, we are thankful for every person who helps Classic City Soar.

We will have two lunches, and we encourage parents and guardians to join their child for this special dinner. We are so excited to celebrate together! Lunch times and additional details will be shared once confirmed. If you would like to Volunteer please contact Ms.Taylor at 706-353-2323 Ext.20254

Thank you to the families, staff, interns, and community partners who helped make Coffee and Conversation a success! It was a wonderful opportunity for families to connect with our school team, ask questions, and learn about student support. Our interns did a great job helping bring the event together!

The school hallway was quiet when Maya returned for her forgotten notebook. Outside her classroom sat a painted pumpkin with a crooked smile. As she reached for the door, a tiny voice whispered, "Don't forget me"

Maya froze. She looked left. She looked right. Nobody was there.

"Who said that?" she asked. The pumpkin flickered. A shadow stretched across the floor, and something rustled behind the classroom door. Maya took one careful step backward.

Then the door opened. Her teacher stood there holding a box of decorations. Beside her, a small speaker crackled: " Don't forget me!"

May laughed so hard she nearly dropped her notebook. " I thought the pumpkin was talking!"

Her teacher grinned. " It does have one last message: always check the facts before you run down the hallway." Maya picked up the pumpkin and carried it inside. Even a spook pumpkin deserved a place with friends.

Students, EVERY WEEK you have a chance to be celebrated!

Showing up matters. Being on time matters. Your attendance is one of the first steps toward reaching your goals and graduating!

On the morning of the school Thanksgiving dinner, Jordan helped place chairs around the tables, Every seat seemed ready until he noticed a classmate standing near the doorway, looking unsure.

"My mom couldn't get away from work," the student said softly. Jordan glanced at his own family's table. There was room if everyone moved just a little.

"Come sit with us," he said, pulling up one more chair.

Soon the table filled with conversation. Jordan's grandmother told a funny story, his friend shared a goal for the school year, and everyone named something they were thankful for. When it was Jordan's turn, he looked around the table.

"I'm thankful we made room," he said.

The food was warm, but the welcome was warmer. Jordan learned that gratitude is more than something we say before a meal. Sometimes it is a simple invitation: " There is a place for you here."

School Hours are from 8:30a.m-3:15p.m. Students will have study hall each Wednesday after lunch. Students can enter the school building starting at 8:00a.m. Car riders are to be dropped off at the main entrance.

Our Eagles wore pink to show support for breast cancer awareness. Thank you to everyone who participated, took pictures, and helped spread a message of care and encouragement. Cupcakes added a sweet touch to the celebration!
