Mark your calendars for the upcoming events at Scottsburg Elementary!
Mark your calendars for the upcoming Scottsburg Elementary " Back to School Reading Bash" to be held for Scottsburg Elementary students and their families on Wednesday, September 3, 2025, from 5:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. We hope you will join us for an evening of fun! All students must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
The faculty and staff at Scottsburg Elementary would like to thank Mr. Matthew Robinson for constructing and donating the "Bench Buddy" to their school. The "Bench Buddy" was made by Mr. Robinson to help students show kindness to others and make students feel included. Being in a new class and unfamiliar surroundings can become overwhelming for children at times. The "Bench Buddy" gives that student a moment to acknowledge those feelings, but also have others join them so they know they are not alone. While at school, if a student is sitting on the bench alone, classmates should recognize that student, go join them, and invite them to play. The bench is a way for others to reach out, show kindness, and help others. It also encourages and helps students to make new friends.
Second grade students at Scottsburg Elementary enjoyed hearing the story "First Day Jitters" by Julia Danneberg. After the story, Mrs. Brenda Conner and Mrs. Kelly Fite served magical "Jitter Juice" to help the students calm their anxious and nervous feelings about the first day of school.
Students in Ms. Culley's and Ms. Watts' kindergarten class enjoyed their first day at Scottsburg Elementary. Students were excited to make "First Day of School" hats and display their creations as they wore them during the day to celebrate their first day.
Scottsburg Elementary had an amazing first day of school to start the 2025-2026 school year. As students arrived at school, they were greeted not only by faculty and staff, but also members of the Halifax County High School football team and cheerleaders. Students were all smiles as they walked in to begin another great school year at Scottsburg Elementary.
