Knoxville Panther Fans near and far!! 🗓 Mark these dates down!! Here are the Homecoming dates for the next two school years!
Mrs. Thomas's Kindergarten class read the book Scribble Stones recently. It was part of their PBIS book selection last month. The kids loved it and wanted to make their own to share with the school. They have been waiting for warm weather and it is finally here! Yesterday they hid them on the playground for friends to find and take home. Their purpose is only to bring joy :) They worked hard on them and they are really cute! Check out some of the students who found rocks throughout the day yesterday!
Yesterday, students in Mrs. Collins' TAG groups had the opportunity to present their projects they have been working on in their groups. We are very proud of their dedication and work ethic to complete these in depth projects and to stand in front of their peers and present! Great job!
