Kindness Matters Monday! 💙
Today we are celebrating a student who showed that even small actions can make a big difference. When a classmate accidentally dropped all of his supplies, Dieara immediately stepped in to help pick everything up without hesitation.
Her willingness to help a peer is a wonderful example of the kindness we love to see in our Wolf Cub community. 🐺
She was nominated by Mrs. Johnson for showing such a thoughtful act of kindness. Way to go, Dieara! 👏

Our students want to hear from YOU. We are still filling slots for our Career Day on April 3rd. We’re looking for volunteers to speak to several classes throughout the morning about their daily work, required skills, and career paths. We have both outdoor and indoor spots still available.
Don't let your industry go unrepresented! Please contact Sarah Anthony at sarah.anthony@dcssga.org to grab a spot.

Not only did the University of West Georgia athletic department send some awesome readers to our school for Read Across America Week, they’ve also opened up a wonderful opportunity for our Wolf Cubs! They have invited everyone to their Spring game for free!🐺📚
We know it’s the tail end of Spring Break, but we hope some of you can take advantage of this chance to enjoy a fun family day at UWG.
Thank you to UWG for supporting our students and helping us celebrate the joy of reading! ❤️📖
They created homemade lava lamps, observing how oil and colored water separate before adding fizzy tablets to create bubbling reactions that sent colorful swirls floating through their bottles. 🌈🫧
This hands-on activity helped students explore density, chemical reactions, and how liquids interact—all while having a lot of fun with science! 🔬🚀

We’ll be sharing a big recap at the end of the week to highlight all the wonderful moments, but today we want to give a very special shoutout to our anonymous donors who saw our post about contributing to Share the Fair.
Because of your generosity, several of our students who may not have been able to shop the Book Fair were able to pick out some amazing books to take home. Your kindness truly made the day for some very special Wolf Cubs.
Thank you for helping us spread the joy of reading! 📚💙

Jazlyn saw a piece of cornbread on the hallway floor. Instead of walking around it, she picked it up and threw it in the trash, helping keep our school clean and safe for everyone.
She was nominated by Mrs. Slatton for showing responsibility and kindness.
Way to go Jazlyn.

‘Twas the Friday before Read Across America Week,
And excitement was building - you could hear it when we speak!
The Book Fair is set with stories to share,
Colorful covers and new worlds everywhere.
Our dress-up days are planned - including Spirit Day fun,
And guest readers are ready to share books with everyone.
Snacks are prepared, schedules are tight,
We’re counting the hours with pure delight!
We can’t wait to show our Wolf Cubs next week
That a whole community believes reading is something special to seek -
A lot is happening on each and every day, so don't be late
Because becoming a lifelong reader is truly something to celebrate! 🐺📚

🌟 Greatness Is What We Do Next.
Our students are learning to recognize their own growth, celebrate progress, and take pride in their learning—not for rewards, but for themselves. That’s how lifelong learners are made. 💪📚
💬 Here’s what our 1st grade students have to say…
Jayde - "I like learning because it makes me smarter and smarter. We have fun learning by playing games and going up to the board. Doing calendar math is my favorite thing. I want to keep learning so I can go to college."
Lincoln - "I like learning because it makes me smart. It's fun because Mrs. Sweeney likes to celebrate when we get things correct. I want to keep learning so I can get as smart as I can."
Ella - "I like learning because it's fun! My teacher makes it fun by letting us play games, read books, and use blocks to learn. I want to keep learning because it's my favorite thing to do!"

For more than three decades, she loved every student who walked through her door as if they were her own. She taught them that hard work matters — even when things aren’t easy — and reminded them that they are worthy of every good thing this world has to offer.
Thank you, Mrs. Parker, for your unwavering dedication and the countless lives you have touched over the years. Your impact will be felt for generations to come.
We hope you enjoy every minute of your well-deserved retirement! 💛📚

Students designed and participated in three winter sporting events: figure skating, speed skating, and bobsledding. As part of the project, they also collected data and graphed the different medal counts earned by each country, exploring multiple ways to represent their findings.
This engaging, hands-on experience allowed students to build skills in teamwork, creativity, and data analysis. We are proud to share that in their classroom, every student earned “gold” through their effort and dedication. 🥇
Well done to all of our outstanding Olympic learners!

📈 Greatness Is What We Do Next.
When students reflect on their progress and set personal goals, they discover that growth is something they create. Confidence grows when learning comes from within. ✨
💬 Listen to our 4th grade students share how they have seen their own growth this year…
Kendra - "I know I've grown in math because my grades have improved from the beginning of the year. I knew I wanted to get better at fractions and my scores in iReady show that I have!"
Xavier - "I know I've grown in reading because the goals I've set for myself have caused my grades to go up and my iReady scores to soar."
Sarai - "I know I've grown in writing because my teachers have inspired me and let me read more which also inspires my writing. I know I've grown because even a 5th grade teacher has read my writing and told her students to write like me."

🎯 Greatness Is What We Do Next.
By helping students see where they started and how far they’ve come, we empower them to believe in themselves—and to keep striving for what’s next. That mindset fuels lifelong learning. 💙
💬 Our 2nd grade students say it best…
Levi - "I like learning because I can learn cool new things; it's fun to get cool knowledge. I want to keep learning so I can continue to get smarter."
Jacie - "I like learning because it helps my brain grow. I want it to keep growing because it helps me do cool things."
Elena - "I like learning math because it's fun and easy for me. I want to keep learning to help me grow up to be successful!"

This week’s Kindness Matters recognition goes to students who showed generosity and teamwork in STEM. Gabby and Rex donated their extra store-bought materials for the Georgia Habitat Project so other classes could use them for their projects.
Their willingness to share helped everyone succeed.
They were nominated by Mrs. Anthony for showing kindness, cooperation, and responsibility.
Great job Gabby and Rex for remembering kindness matters!
