🎅✨ Thank you, MPO! ✨🎁 The MPO Santa's Workshop brought the holiday spirit to life, allowing our students to shop for their families right at school. Parent volunteers wrapped the gifts, ensuring families could enjoy a surprise under the tree. 🎄 This festive tradition is more than just fun – it’s a fundraiser supporting our students and school community. A huge shoutout to the MPO for organizing this magical experience AND for treating our faculty and staff to a delicious lunch as we head into the holiday season.

This morning, our Kindergarteners shared what they’re most grateful for during the beloved Thanksgiving Gratefulness Parade! They created festive “floats” and posters highlighting their families, friends, teachers, favorite hobbies, and more. 🦃❤️





📜🖋 Inspired by the timeless tales of Edgar Allan Poe, our 7th-grade poets of Mrs. Hardin's and Dr. McCardle's classes captivated us with their haunting verses last week at the POEtry Slam!





🎨🎬 Last week, our Visual Arts and Media Arts students dove into creativity during EKU's Open Studio Day. From crafting unique art pieces to exploring the inspiring Giles Gallery and stepping behind the scenes in the TV studio, they experienced hands-on learning like never before. Being part of the EKU family opens incredible doors for our students to explore their passions and sharpen their skills. Thank you, EKU, for giving our future artists and creators a day to dream big and create boldly! 🤩






✒️📖🐦⬛ Once upon a seventh-grade class, while they pondered, how to pass,
Over many a volume of Edgar Allan Poe's well-known lore—
While they nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As if someone gently rapping, rapping at McCardle's door.
"I know how you'll pass," Mrs. Hardin uttered walking through the classroom door—
"With this 'Poe'try Slam and nothing more."
Everyone in the community is welcome to join us TONIGHT, 5:00-7:30 p.m., as our seventh-graders present original poetry and art!
