Physical Education Field Trip to CCCB Disc Golf Course 🐅Go Tigers! 🐅

Ms. Hall and Mr. Kirby would like to say, "Thank You!" to everyone who supported the book fair and made it a huge success! Not only did we meet our goal but passed our goal! A big thank you to the PTO for purchasing almost 100 books for classroom teachers. A big thank you to the community members and Fair Board for their donations that sponsored students. Those thoughtful donations allowed 70 students to receive a book. A book is a gift they can open over and over again.

We’re so grateful to our friends at Exchange Bank of Fayette for stopping by today with a generous donation through their Tiger Mascot Debit Card Program! 💛🖤Your continued support helps our students and school community thrive and we appreciate everything you do for our Tigers!

We will wrap up the day with an exciting evening at the rodeo.

Buckle Up, Phone Down! 🚗📱
Today our school proudly joined the Buckle Up Phone Down movement — a simple challenge that can save lives. We’re reminding everyone that safety starts with small choices: buckle your seatbelt every time and put your phone away when you drive.

Let’s all do our part to keep our roads safe for our friends, families, and community. 💛🖤
