Students in Ms. Crawford's READ 180 classes tested their reading comprehension skills in an "Egg-cellent" way.

Students were given questions about the story, "The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson. If they answered correctly, students were given a chance to pull a prize EGG from the Black, Lottery Box. The box represents a key element of the story's plot.

It was a great way to assess the students' knowledge and "HOP" into Speak Break!

is with great pleasure that we announce that Olivia Head and Isabella Alvarez competed in the 4-H Project Achievement public speaking competition at Perry Middle School in Houston County on Saturday, March 21, 2026.

There was a lot of competition within their project and we are beyond pleased with their results.

An azalea dissection lab turned 7th graders into botanists. From petal patterns to the hidden world of pollen, seeing these flowers under the microscope provided a unique perspective. There is so much beauty in the tiny details!
