Polka dots were popping all over campus for Polka Dot Spirit Day! 🎉🔴⚪ Our scholars showed off their school spirit and creativity by dressing in their best dots, filling the halls with smiles, fun, and Sydnor Jennings pride.
So proud of our scholars who were recognized for having 2 or fewer absences during the 2nd nine weeks! 👏 Their commitment to showing up, staying engaged, and making learning a priority truly shines. Keep up the great work—attendance matters, and your dedication makes a difference! 🌟📚
Kindergarten scholars were hands on modeling and solving single-step addition problems.
As a culminating activity after studying the season of Winter, Kindergarten scholars made snow using baking soda and shaving cream! Some made snowmen, snow mountains, an igloo, and some made it snow by sprinkling it on the table. They hope this will not be the only snow they get to play with this year!
As a reminder, all schools and offices will be closed on Monday, January 19, 2026 in observance of Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday.
Congratulations to our December Scholars of the Month!
Congratulations to our November Scholars of the Month!
Pre-K scholars got creative with sponge painting as they brought their snowy snowman pictures to life! ☃️🎨 Hands-on fun, imagination, and wintery smiles filled the room as they explored art through texture and color.
Kindergarten scholars explored working at various jobs to earn money to spend in the teacher's store. The students learned about needs and wants and earning money. They learned about the importance of buying needs before wants and were given an opportunity to buy a house and sell it back to the bank for a profit. The scholars were excited to explore this unit of study.
