Mrs. Watt's Domestic Arts class put their hand-sewing skills to work by bringing our kindergartners’ monster creations to life!

Students in Mrs. Schwengels and Ms. Lape's Kindergarten class are celebrating all of their achievements this year with a special "Hockey Day"
Students have been learning all about the hockey playoffs, including face-offs, penalties, and what a zamboni is.
Students have been earning "dollars" for good behavior and hard work. They will spend their "money" at the Concession Stand and "The Eye" gift shop.
Go Canes !!

Yesterday was our Soaring Singers chorus concert. The group is made up of 38 3rd-5th grade students. The concert included 7 pieces with 4 vocal solos and 6 percussion solos. Way to go, singers! 🎤🎶✨

Happy National School Principal's Day!

🌺🌼​Happy May!🪿🎵

Our 4th grade students in Mrs. Bridgers’s AIG enrichment class dove deep into the past as they explored the geologic time scale!

Thanks to the Aurora Fossil Museum, students had the incredible opportunity to work with fossiliferous material donated by the Nutrien Phosphate plant. This hands-on experience brought paleontology to life while highlighting the rich natural and cultural history of Eastern North Carolina.

Students were thrilled to discover and examine fossils from ancient sharks, whales, bony fish, and coral—uncovering pieces of history millions of years old right in their classroom!

🎉 Field Day Fun is Coming! 🎉

Coach T is busy planning an amazing Field Day for our K–4 students, and we need a little help from our awesome families!

We’re looking for 6 empty 2-liter bottles to use for activities. If you have any to spare, please send them in with your child or drop them off at the K4 front desk with Mrs. Boone.

Thank you for helping us make this day extra special for our students! 💙

Students in Mrs. Pace's Class set a goal this year to make 100% on ONE HUNDRED i-Ready Lessons! We made our goal this week and celebrated with a "Sip, Sip, Hooray" Day! Students were able to concoct a very unique drink using a special classroom menu. Students are pumped and feel confident going into next week's i-Ready End of Year assessments!

On Wednesday 8th grade studied their water filtration unit by examining the creek water behind the school and measuring its turbidity and pH.

Students in Mrs. Pace's Class are using a Thinking Map to organize and connect new information about the seasons, helping them build understanding by visually linking ideas from their reading.

3rd grade felt like royalty as they received the red carpet experience by visiting the Capitol & Legislative Building on Wednesday and learned so much about how bills can become laws!

Today, our 2nd graders had a very special visit from a real meteorologist, Kat Campbell from WRAL! She shared so much information about what it’s like to be a meteorologist and all the amazing things you can do as a scientist. The students were engaged and excited to learn about weather and science in a real-world way.☀️☁️☔❄️🌀🌈🌞🌡️

It’s safe to say the 2nd grade teachers were just as excited to meet Kat as the students!

Easter Break

First graders proudly took the lead during Student-Led Conferences, sharing their growth and achievements with their families! From reflecting on their progress to setting meaningful goals for the rest of the school year, these young learners showed confidence, ownership, and excitement for what’s ahead. 🌟📚

Rising 5th Grade Families and Students for the upcoming 2026-2027 school year, please come join us for a 5th Grade Information meeting on June 3rd at 5:30 in Spirit Hall located in Middle Academy! During this information meeting, the teachers will be going over some information about 5th-grade and Middle Academy policies to provide insight to families and students transitioning to the Middle Academy next school year. Due to limited space in Spirit Hall, we recommend only parents/guardians attend.

In March, high school staff and students nominated peers who showed strong good judgment—making thoughtful decisions and handling situations responsibly, even when it wasn’t easy. From those nominations, one student per grade level was selected.

Congratulations to Henry Pace, Kenniza Battle, Kayla Johnson, and Jesse Moore (Jesse Moore not pictured) for modeling excellent judgment!

Thank you to the EWA Eagle Foundation for their continued support and for providing this month’s student treats.
