In honor of Black History Month, Mrs. DiGrispino's Songs of Peace students from Coolidge and Oak Glen performed in a Parent Night and a school assembly last week. The students sang several songs in addition to reenacting what happened to Rosa Parks and the bus boycott that followed.
TF South students of Mrs. Brown-Brooks and Coolidge parents volunteered to teach all of our students about financial literacy and about what it means to be an entrepreneur. Junior Achievement sponsored this event by supplying training and materials for all of the volunteers!
Nothing but collaboration, encouragement, and risk taking happening while Ms. Bown's 5th graders learn! #OakGlenGrizzlies

Memorial's 8th Grade Parent Information Night was a big success! Despite the cold, we had over 150 parents attend for a standing room only crowd. A special shoutout to our #158Strong Interpreter Mrs. Boshears, who translated for the families in attendance. #MightyMustangs
The students at Lester Crawl School celebrated Valentine’s Day by taking an all-school field trip to Funflatables. It was an enjoyable way to celebrate friendship and to get some exercise on a cold February day.
