South Elementary 3rd graders have been learning about life cycles in science. They each created a project to showcase the unique life cycle of a specific animal or insect. From eggs to adults, their creativity and curiosity truly shined! #WildcatExcellence #LifeCycle #Science

All students and staff are safe. During this afternoon's route, bus X caught fire with only one student on board. Thanks to the quick actions of our driver, Charlie, both he and the student were unharmed. We're grateful for his calm and swift response.

Most of Miss Whitaker’s class agreed—the giraffes were the highlight! 😍🦒 #WildcatExcellence #FieldTripFun

🎉Please help us extend a HUGE congratulations to South Elementary's Shaffer Brown! To our knowledge, Shaffer is the first-ever 2nd grader in our district to reach 1 MILLION words through the Reading Counts program! 🤩📚👏🏼 When asked how he did it, Shaffer humbly said it was easy — he "only had to read for two hours each night." 😅 We are so proud of Shaffer’s dedication and love for reading. Way to lead with #WildcatExcellence, kiddo!
