Today, Ms. Heidi, Mr. Cheesbro, and Mrs. Brewer donned their masks and capes to help our Little Indians channel their inner superhero to prepare for our safety drill. The students did a fantastic job showing us how brave they could be! An extra fun photo! We may have a future actor in the making! One of our students really brought the drama while acting out the “Kapow!” Knockout! ❤

Ms. Thoroughman’s kindergarten class has been exploring the letter C last week. We are learning what sound it makes, letter formation, and words that begin with c.

What a great day to be an Indian! ❤️🤍
Our students had a front-row seat to history today as they witnessed the American Discovery Trail Relay make its way through our community! What a unique opportunity to see this incredible coast-to-coast adventure in action and be part of something special happening right here in our own hometown.
We love opportunities that connect our students to the history, people, and places that make our community so special!
Go Indians! ❤️🤍

Third grade students enjoyed a trip to the Queen Beanery. Janie and her crew served an amazing snack of a frappe and a cookie. This was an incentive for working SO hard on their Language Arts state test last week. The weather was perfect and they all enjoyed themselves.
