Taylor Parks Elementary School fifth-graders went out in style recently!
A celebration capped the year for the fifth-grade pupils, who will embark on a new adventure next year. They are headed for The Sixth Grade Academy, and hopefully, bigger and better things.
Taylor Parks celebrated the event with pizza, salad and some bowling to help fuel the fire.
Class of 2020, enjoy the journey!
Mr. Tony Brinson and Mrs. Brenda Baker recently did an amazing job with Blair Moody Elementary School's Fun/Field Day.
The idea was to focus on fun and physical fitness. Over 40 parents volunteered, organized by parents Mrs. Angie Busch and Mrs. Jennifer Lutton. All the games and activities were run by parent volunteers.
And even Mother Nature cooperated!
The staff at Blair Moody Elementary School is proud to be happy group of Eagles!
Here's a recent group picture of the educators at the school getting ready for a fun-filled field day.
With a staff like this, how can anyone help but be excited to be at school?
Come one, come all ... it's nearly time for the Eureka Heights Elementary School Carnival!
The carnival will be held from 2 to 4 p.m. tomorrow (Wednesday, June 12). Included will be games, inflatables, raffles, food and more.
Staff and teachers want anyone and everyone to come and enjoy the fun. Pre-sale tickets are now on sale at the school office.
All proceeds from the benefit will go directly to school activities during next year's school year.
Ain't no misbehaving at Holland Elementary School!
At least that goes for a group of pupils who went the entire month of May without a single misbehavior notice. As a result, they had a chance to gather and enjoy an ice cream treat. Pictured as some of the children in Mrs. Irwin's fourth-grade class who met the challenge and reaped the rewards!
Every month at Holland, there is a fun activity to celebrate and an ice cream treat is always one of the favorites.
From the "Talking Taylor Schools" blog, hats off to those "Ain't no misbehaving" pupils at Holland!
What do NFL players, Major League Baseball players and a group of boys at Holland Elementary School have in common? They are "real men" who wear pink to show their support for the fight against breast cancer.
As part of their mini Relay for Life, Holland sells T-shirts to help raise money for Taylor's Relay For Life. Two years ago, fourth-grade teacher Mr. Stewart asked the boys in his class if they would purchase pink shirts as a way to show support for the women's fight against breast cancer.
Several brave boys joined Mr. Stewart in the "Real Men Wear Pink" club. This year the group doubled in size and expanded to boys in other classrooms.
The boys who wear their pink shirts feel very strongly about their desire to show support for the women in their lives.
Nathan Gervasi wear his pink shirt "to support people who have cancer, have passed away, and who have survived cancer."
Antonio Perales and Jack Mount wear their shirts to honor women in their lives who have beaten breast cancer.
For school students, Friday means the weekend is here. But for Randall Elementary School fourth-grader Zachary Snider, last Friday (June 7) turned out to be a little different. And a little more special.
Snider's brother is Joshua Harris, in basic training at the Naval Station Great Lakes near Chicago for the past six months. But, before Joshua sent sails for destinations around the world, he wanted to see his brother.
So he made a surprise trip back to Randall before heading off for San Diego, CA, and duty on the U.S.S. Ronald Reagan. By the smiles on their faces, everyone could see that they couldn't wait to see each other again.
Joshua, by the way, attended Truman High School.
Something tells us that Friday is always going to hold a special place in Zachary's heart.
And, from "Talking Taylor Schools," a good luck to Joshua Harris. We're all proud of you!
