The "VEST" Time of the Year! ❤️🤍💚





Thanks to the Thrasher family for the sweet surprise of donuts for our faculty and staff! They were delicious and greatly appreciated 🍩💜💛

5th grade students wrapped up their Journey of the Immigrants- Ellis and Angel Island Unit with a role play activity. Mrs. Brueckner’s classroom was transformed into the Ellis Island Immigration Station which once served as America's primary immigration station. This New York station processed over 12 million immigrants arriving by ship during 1892 to 1924. Several students researched their heritage and found that they had descendants that had travelled to Ellis Island seeking new lives.


Our recent food drive was a huge success thanks to our generous families. Independent Stave has graciously donated storage cabinets to help us protect and store food for our families. These young ladies helped to fill and organize them today. Our community is fantastic and we are grateful for each of you!

Dress-up Day #1: Flannels and Fuzzy Socks ❄️


Thanks to our PTO for the sweet treats and coffee this morning. ☕️❤️

Friendly reminder that tomorrow is Flannels and Fuzzy Socks Day! It's a perfect combination with these cold temperatures ❄️🩵

Overton County Schools will be 2 hours late tomorrow, December 15, 2025, due to extremely cold temperatures.
Just a friendly reminder for students to return the smoke alarm papers to their school no later than tomorrow, December 15, 2025 , if they have not already done so.
Mrs. Todd’s class spent the day learning about Eli Whitney’s invention of the cotton gin and how it revolutionized the process of separating seeds from cotton. Students experienced firsthand how challenging this task was to do by hand — and how it impacted overall yield. They also explored how cotton is grown today, including its role as a GMO crop.
In addition, her ISM class had the wonderful opportunity to groom these beautiful puppies as part of their ongoing learning experiences. The students loved helping prepare them for their future forever homes!
