This week is National School Psychology Week (NSPW), where we highlight the vital work school psychologists and other educators do to help all students thrive. Thank you to our district school psychologists, Brandi Dennis, Kylie Humphries, and Mary Rachel Warr, for all you do in supporting the well-being of our students.
This year's theme, "Let's Grow Together," is inspired by the importance of personal and shared strengths in our growth as individuals and school communities in every season of life. The theme recognizes every aspect of growth as fundamental to effective learning environments and to school psychologists' role in supporting student well-being and learning.

THE 2023 NATIONAL RED RIBBON WEEK THEME: BE KIND TO YOUR MIND. LIVE DRUG FREE.™
Our Students and staff dressed in Western gear to "saddle up and give drugs the boot."
HOSA (Health Occupations Students of America) from the F.E. Dubose Career Center visited 1st and 2nd grade students for a workshop to help them understand the importance of hand hygiene and high touch surfaces in relation to illness and how they spread. This project was created by Arden E. Brown, Manning High Student.
At MECC, Mrs. Land and her team taught each class about pumpkins in the garden. They tasted pumpkin seeds and sweet potato chips, then planted spinach seeds. The kids each got a sweet potato that they dug up to take home!

Some of the Montessori Monarchs classes went to visit Dorr Farms! They played, picked pumpkins, toured the farm on a hayride, and saw some farm animals. What an adventurous day!
Mrs. Marie Land, Mrs. Amy Land, and Katie came to the garden to teach the students about seeds. They studied the soil samples that were put in water last week. Next, they planted seeds in different soil types to see which they like to grow best. (clay, sand, & soil). Another fun day in the garden! 🪴
