🦸‍♂️DAY 2: HEROES ARE ON BOARD! 🦸🏾‍♀️

Everyday heroes say NO to drugs! Today, our students and staff came dressed as their favorite superheroes, rescue workers, and community helpers to show that we have the power to make healthy, drug-free choices.

Heroes also come in many forms, including the incredible educators who touch our lives forever. Today, one of our students chose to dress as Mrs. Adkins, who passed away earlier this year after her courageous battle with cancer. We miss and love her so much, and her legacy of strength continues to inspire our school family every day. ❤️✨

Thank you to all of our local heroes. Our first responders, healthcare workers, and everyday leaders, who keep our community safe and inspire us every day!

🍬Our Kindergarten mathematicians in Ms. Weed and Mrs. McGuire's class had a sticky, sweet time putting their STEM skills to work! Using toothpicks and marshmallows, our students explored geometry hands-on by building 2D and 3D shapes like circles, triangles, squares, and cubes. Engineering, shape recognition, and fine motor skills all in one lesson, plus a delicious marshmallow treat to finish! 🟦✨

🎃 Learning is looking pretty sweet in 5th Grade Math! 🎃 Our 5th graders have been diving deep into decimals, blending math skills with creativity and technology! Here is a look at what we've been up to: 🎨 Halloween Decimal Flyers: Students put their decimal knowledge and tech skills to work, designing spooky-fun Halloween flyers to show off what they know. 🎲 Math Games: Hands-on games kept the energy high while sharpening our decimal computation and rounding skills. 🧱 Manipulatives in Action: They brought decimal equations to life using concrete models to build a true conceptual understanding. So proud of the hard work, problem-solving, and creativity our 5th graders bring to math class every day! 👏✨

✈️ Ready to fly into Red Ribbon Week! Red Ribbon Week kicked off with Day 1: Ready for Takeoff, where students showed their commitment to a drug-free life by wearing red or dressing up as pilots, aviators, and tourists. We’re soaring high and staying drug-free! 🔴🕶️

We are so excited to celebrate our Deep South Fair prize winners. 🌈😍

Huge shoutout to the incredible custodial team here at Jerger! 🍕🧹 Every single day, long before the first bell rings and well after the halls empty out, our custodians work tirelessly behind the scenes to keep our school clean, safe, and welcoming for every student and staff member. To show a small token of our immense appreciation, we surprised our custodial crew with a pizza snack party! 🍕🥤 Whether it's keeping our classrooms shining, handling last-minute messes with a smile, or making sure our campus stays bright and ready for learning, we couldn't do what we do without you. Please join us in the comments below in saying a massive THANK YOU for everything they do for our school family! ❤️✨

🎃 Pumpkins, Science, & Pumpkin Patch Fun! From exploring the pumpkin patch to testing science theories in the classroom, Ms. Shellman and Mrs. Cone's Pre-K class has been busy! Their little scientists made predictions on whether gourds and pumpkins sink or float 💧and capped off the fun by making an erupting pumpkin volcano! 🌋✨ Learning is so much sweeter when it’s hands-on (and a little bubbly)! 🍂 Big thanks to everyone who helped make their Pre-K kiddos pumpkin patch visit so special! #jergerelementary #jergerfamily #FallLearning #STEMInPreK #PumpkinVolcano

Behind every safe ride is a dedicated driver. This Bus Safety Week, we’re sending a huge thank you to the driving team who navigate early mornings, busy streets, and unpredictable weather to get everyone where they need to go safely.
