Softball has been moved to Lakeland tonight. First pitch will be at 4:30 pm.

The red carpet is rolled out and our 3-6 graders are ready to SHINE! ⭐️🎬

We are kicking off state testing with confidence, encouragement, and a whole lot of school spirit! From “Score more than 67” to “Clock the tea on the test,” our halls are filled with reminders that our students are prepared and capable of amazing things.

Testing season? Bet. We’re built different. 💪📚

So proud of the hard work, growth, and determination these students have shown all year long—now it’s their time to show what they know! Let’s gooooo! ❤️🔥 #WeBelieveInYouTigers!

Softball for tonight has been cancelled.

Luau Pool Party–themed test prep day for fourth grade ELA turned review into an engaging, immersive experience. Students rotated through a variety of themed activities designed to strengthen key reading skills. They identified character traits by gathering and citing supporting evidence from texts, and practiced making inferences by using clues combined with their background knowledge. Emphasis was placed on using clear text evidence to justify answers, helping students explain their thinking more effectively.

Students also worked on determining the meaning of unfamiliar words using context clues, building vocabulary strategies in a fun, low-pressure setting. Independent reading time allowed them to apply these skills at their own pace while enjoying self-selected texts. The festive theme kept motivation high while reinforcing essential ELA concepts in preparation for upcoming assessments.

Baseball has been moved to Liberty Park and will play at 2:00 p.m. against Otterville. Softball update will come later this morning.

Ready for some weekend baseball? Conference tourney kicks off this weekend with the Tigers playing Windsor in Lincoln Saturday at 10am.

When your 4th graders really understand the assignment… 💦😂 They reached for the stars on their STAAR test—and for those who showed growth, they got to bring the splash back down to Earth! 🚀🌟 Nothing builds character quite like cheering your students on… and then immediately getting soaked because of it. Worth every drop! 💛💜 We are so proud of these kids for their hard work, growth, and for keeping us on our toes (and apparently… completely drenched). #STAARtotheStars #WorthIt
