RANDALL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL receives a unique visitor

Even though the weather cancelled its Easter Egg Hunt outside on March 24, the Randall Elementary School Student Council were able to put smiles on all the kindergartners.

The Easter Bunny visited Randall’s four kindergarten classes and each student received a bag full of goodies.

The Bunny either received a hug, a high-five or a big wave!

Even Mrs. Patts got to see the Easter Bunny.


Thank you to everyone who sent in candy for the bags!

“Favorites” was the "March is Reading Month" theme at McDowell Elementary School. Each classroom was asked to work on a display board based on their favorite book throughout the month and then take turns presenting their board during televised announcements. The students are doing a great job of speaking with enthusiasm about their special projects. Here are a few that we hope you enjoy, because those at the school sure have!

MCDOWELL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL students learn Native American symbols


While reading “The Search for the Lost Cave,” several of Ms. Donaldson's fourth and fifth graders at McDowell Elementary School were inspired to learn Native American symbols.

Each student made an animal skin replica and wrote a story using only symbols. They then wrote the story in English so others could match the symbols to our words.

Their projects look quite authentic!
