The Student Council had a busy day on Monday! 🚌They loaded up canned goods 🥫and socks 🧦 to go to the Middle Tyger Community Center and then loaded up more of the same to share with the Breaking Bread Soup 🥣 Kitchen. While at the soup kitchen, the students helped unload supplies, enjoyed a delicious lunch, took a tour of the facility, and learned about how the soup kitchen helps the community. They learned that some of the donated food will be used to prepare meals and the rest of it and the socks will be made into blessing bags for those in need. The students also had the opportunity to serve/refill drinks 🥤, deliver plates 🍽️ of food, talk 🗣️ to visitors, and deliver to-go plates. It was a wonderful opportunity for the students to serve others and witness the impact of their school’s generosity.

S.P.A.R.K. stands for Showcasing Professionals and Reaching Kids.
As part of our magnet school initiative, we have invited professionals from across our community, state and nation to speak with our students about how communication and leadership have positively impacted their careers.
Come to school on Friday, November 17th dressed YOUR best -
Everyone is encouraged to dress in a way that makes them feel good for S.P.A.R.K. Day. This does not mean that you and your children need to shop for anything new. We encourage our students to find something that makes them feel comfortable, confident and proud. This could be a favorite dress, new shoes, a special headband, etc.
Get up.
Dress up.
Show up.
Never give up.
Get excited about local professionals sharing their careers with our little learners!
