Today, our fifth graders learned all about the Innovation Academy which is another option for middle school within Johnston County Schools. Students from the Innovation Academy did a phenomenal job explaining all about the school, including their favorite projects, ways of learning and traditions. If you have a rising sixth grader, be sure to ask them to share what they learned.

Tomorrow is the last day of our Cash Cow Fundraiser. Thanks to your support, our students got to see their Principal and Assistant Principal dressed up like cows! What a "MOO-velous" way to end the day. I have a feeling that we will be reaching our goal of $3000 tomorrow!
