🦋 Butterflies at MacNaughton!
Our preschool classrooms have been observing butterflies right in their classrooms as part of their learning experience. One classroom recently had the exciting opportunity to release their butterflies and watch them take flight! What a memorable hands-on learning moment for our youngest learners.

Last week, the 2nd and 3rd grade students had the opportunity to explore a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables at our special Farmers Market! From everyday favorites to a few unique options, students enjoyed learning about healthy foods and picking out new things to try.
Experiences like this help encourage healthy habits, hands-on learning, and a love for trying something new!
A huge thank you to our Food Services Department and PTO volunteers who helped make this event such a success!

Last week, our preschoolers had an exciting visit from Republic Services! Crystal came to spend time with our students and shared the fun and engaging story “I Stink!” by Kate McMullan and Jim McMullan.
After the story, students got a close-up look at a real garbage truck and even enjoyed a guided tour—what a highlight! 🚛
Thank you, Crystal and Republic Services, for providing such a hands-on and memorable learning experience for our preschoolers!

The Tri County Middle School hosted a job fair this week. This event was a great opportunity for students to explore possible career options. A special thank you to all our job fair attendees, middle school staff, National Jr. Honor Society, and Advisor Mrs. Stewart for making this possible for our students.
As we celebrate Staff Appreciation Week, we would like to express our gratitude to every member of our Tri County team. Each of our staff members play an important part in shaping the experience of our kids every single day. Whether they are teaching lessons, serving meals, driving routes, keeping our buildings safe and clean, supporting student needs, solving problems behind the scenes, or building relationships that help students feel seen and valued—their work matters. Our school is stronger, brighter, and better because of this incredible team.
200 goals and counting! Congratulations Savanah! ⚽️
