🔍📜 ROANOKE: A History Mystery! 📜🔍
Today, our 5th graders traveled back in time with Mrs. Clark, who brought the mystery of the Roanoke settlers to life. What happened? Where did they go? Have they been found? 🤔✨
Her love of storytelling captivated our Rockets and sparked curiosity about one of history’s greatest unsolved mysteries. ❤️📚

🌟💙 8th Grade Leadership in Action! 💙🌟
Our 8th grade Leadership class is helping PTC to organize the Food Drive donations and class contest. 🥫📦 Dr. Charlton and our students are working hard to serve others in our community and make a difference! 🙌✨
There’s still time to donate through Friday! If you drop items at the front office, please label them with your child’s teacher’s name to count toward the contest. 🏆🍎
