Mrs. Ingram and Ms. Holly's kindergarten class at East Jones Elementary had a very special visitor today—a pet pig! One of our students and her mom brought their pig to share with us as we continue learning our alphabet letters and sounds. Experiences like this make our learning memorable and fun, and we loved seeing how our classroom connections can bring the alphabet to life! A special thanks to the Street family for bringing Hampton for us to see and pet!

Mrs. Walley’s 5th & 6th grade Star Reach classes have been learning about American symbols. Students learned the history & meaning behind the design of the flag, how to properly fold & care for the flag, & even practiced lowering and raising the flag on our flagpole in the front of the school.

Southern Pine Electric and Dixie Electric recently teamed up to conduct an electric safety demonstration for the 6th grade Star Reach students in Ms. Walley and Mrs. McGee’s classes. The students learned about the dangers of electricity as well as what happens to the path of electricity once it's broken.
