Kids Heart Challenge is officially kicking off TODAY! We need your help to accomplish our goal of having 100% of our families to know Hands-Only CPR, and you can help us by registering your child and spreading the word. You can register online and complete Finn’s Mission where you can watch a 2 minute video to know Hands-On CPR, spot the signs of a stroke and so much more. Classes have the opportunity to win a gift card to use for their classroom or an ICE CREAM PARTY!!

Mrs. Malone’s class had fun experimenting with how heat changes a solid to a liquid then to a gas. 🌍 🔥 🧊 💧

Congratulations to these second graders in Mrs. Alston and Mrs. Thomasson’s classes on completing January’s Sight Word Challenge. They enjoyed an icy snow cone treat to celebrate. *Special thanks to the Demopolis PTO for letting them borrow their snow cone machine!* We are so excited to see these leaders become great readers!

Monday is a holiday!

Students who reached their positive behavior goal for the month of December were celebrated today. They enjoyed an afternoon of making a marshmallow snowman and playing snowman bingo. Of course, the best part was getting to eat their yummy snowman and spending time with their friends! ⛄️ We are so proud of all of our students for meeting their positive behavior goal! We hope to have even more students celebrate their January goal.

Pre-K held their Snowman Exhibit and program at Westside today. Family and friends were invited to see students perform songs, poems, finger plays and even got to hear a few jokes. After the program, families were able to walk down the pre-k hallway to view all the unique snowmen that were created by our students! It was snow-much fun in pre-K today!

ATTENTION‼️

Brrrrr. . . It’s about to get outside! Students are practicing their coding skills by getting the snowman to his scarf. ⛄️
