Blending in but standing out—our scholars and staff crushed Camo Spirit Day!
1st grade scholars explored fractions in an exciting VR lesson, seeing what 1/2 and 1/4 look like in a virtual world. Then they brought their learning to life by modeling the fractions with playdough!
5th grade scholars explored the flow of electricity by building simple circuits using batteries, wires, and lightbulbs. They then tested everyday materials to discover which ones were conductors and which were insulators. ⚡💡
Our 4th grade scholars rose to the challenge! 🏅 They took on an academic task and shared their answers with the principal. Great job showing initiative and effort!
Congratulations to these staff members! They were recognized for their exemplary attendance.
All schools and offices will be closed Tuesday, November 11, 2025 in observance of Veterans Day.
On Sunday, November 16, 2025 from 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM, there will be a presentation at HCHS called Hidden In Plain Sight.

Refreshments will be provided.
Congratulations to our October Scholars of the Month!
Our Camera Club learned the art of long exposure photography! Using glow sticks and a bit of creativity, scholars experimented with capturing motion and light in a single shot.
We rolled out the red carpet for our perfect attendance superstars! 🌟 A few lucky scholars won a VIP lunch with the principal—what an awesome way to celebrate showing up every day!
Scholars at Sydnor Jennings had a spooktacular time celebrating Halloween! 🎃 They showed off their creative costumes, saw their teachers all dressed up, met Miss Frizzle and some mad scientists, went on the spooky bus, and even went trick-or-treating through the halls!
