Our kindergarten and first-grade classes are participating in Z100's Change for a Cure, a fundraising initiative supporting St Jude Children's Hospital. We are collecting loose change through March 18. This is a meaningful opportunity for our students to learn about giving back to their community while making a real difference for children in need.

This week we celebrate Social Worker Week and recognize the valuable contributions of our Social Worker, Behavioral Specialist, and Outreach Worker. These dedicated professionals provide essential support to our students and play an important role in fostering a positive school environment. We are blessed with the best!! ❤

We’re on a roll! 🐯 Following up on our January highlights, we're back to keep the celebration going.

Check out the February edition of Let’s Talk Tigers as Superintendent Nathaniel Wilson and Board President Kelly Green shout out the latest round of student and staff excellence. Our Tigers never slow down!
