Dear Gamecock Families,

We’re excited to celebrate our students’ hard work and positive choices during our upcoming EPIC (Gamecock) Celebration! Each nine weeks, students have the opportunity to participate in special events recognizing those who consistently demonstrate our Sulphur Springs Daily Actions of being Respectful, Confident, Encouraging, and Kind.

To attend the EPIC Celebration, students must:
 Continue to model respectful, confident, encouraging, and kind behavior.
 Have no behavior-related detentions or a loss of 15 or more behavior points during the 9-week period.
 (Grades 3–8 only) Have all assignments completed before the celebration.

We want every student to be part of the fun! Please help us by encouraging your child to make positive choices each day and stay focused on both their behavior and academic responsibilities.

Thank you for your continued support in helping our Gamecocks shine! We look forward to celebrating their success together! Please see the attachment for more information about the celebrations! 

Special Celebration: Edgar's Miracle Moment

50s Day in PreK & Kindergarten

On Friday, our PreK and Kindergarten students celebrated the 50th Day of School, marking a significant milestone in attendance and engagement. Dressed in their best 50s attire, this event brought joy and promoted math skills in a creative way. It's essential to celebrate such achievements to boost student morale and foster a sense of accomplishment.

Musical Scarves!

Incorporating music and movement is exciting and fun!
Today, our Kindergarten students used scarves to mimic the movement of leaves, promoting engagement and participation. This activity builds vocabulary, color recognition, and can significantly enhance learning.

Automation and Irrigation

Our 5th-grade students are making strides in agricultural innovation! They designed and built prototypes of automated irrigation systems that integrated with Finch robots, allowing for precise water management in cornfields. This hands-on project not only fosters coding skills but also addresses real-world agricultural challenges.

Innovative solutions emerging from the next generation!

Library Class Highlights: Typing Skills and Leaf Art

Our 4th and 5th graders are excited to be learning touch typing during library class! Developing this skill will help them become more efficient and confident test-takers. Beyond speeding up their typing, touch typing improves focus, reduces mistakes, and builds computer literacy—an essential skill for today’s digital world.

Meanwhile, our younger students in PreK through 3rd grades enjoyed nature-inspired lessons centered around author Lois Ehlert’s creative use of leaves in her books. They explored the characteristics of a maple tree just outside the library and then used real maple and elm leaves to create their own beautiful leaf artwork. It was a wonderful way to connect literature with the natural world!
