Earlier this week Mr. Nichols, Ms. Bishop, and Mrs. Dickey's classes had an incredible day exploring Oak Mountain State Park! From canoeing across the water to running on the playground, it was a field trip full of sunshine, adventure, and fun.
A huge thank you to all our teachers, chaperones, and park staff who helped make this day possible! ☀️🛶

Our Pre-K classes have been learning all about the special people in our community that help us and keep us safe. Today we had an extra special visit from our very own School Resource Officer! The kids loved hearing about his job, asking questions, and getting to hang out with one of their real-life heroes. 🚓
A big thank you to Officer Gregg for making learning so much fun and keeping our school safe every day! 🌟

We appreciate each student, educator, administrator, and employee who supported Hope for Autumn Foundation's Give Hope Day! It was incredibly moving to see our JEFCOED Family stand behind such a meaningful cause. 💛

What a delicious way to learn! 🍪📖
Mr. Nichols's class read "The Smart Cookie"—a story all about discovering what makes each of us unique and special. Afterward, the students brought the book to life by crafting their own "smart cookies" to enjoy during snack time!
Take a look at our creative bakers!

🐱 Snacking like the Cat Bandit! 🥨
Mrs. Lawson's 2nd Grade class wrapped up their first skills unit in the tastiest way possible! After reading "The Cat Bandit"—where a sneaky cat pulls off crazy kitchen heists in every chapter—the students channeled the story by working together to create their very own classroom snack mix.
Learning has never tasted so good! 😋📚
