5. Principal & Athletic Director Reports
Discussion:
Mrs. Harrison presented the Elementary report for February. The month is dedicated to Random Acts of Kindness, and the 100 Days of School event was a great success, with students participating in activities like dressing up as rock stars and creating the number 100 with their bodies on the gym floor. Celebrations included National Flannel Day, Valentine's Day parties, and SRO Appreciation Day, where students made handmade cards and gift baskets. The Chinese New Year celebration was also a highlight. Parent-teacher conferences have been scheduled, with excellent participation. February was filled with pictures and learning activities, as well as catching up on snow days from late January. Miss Cramer provided the Secondary Schools report for February. Mr. Thompson delighted students from Elementary to High School with red heart sunglasses for Valentine's Day, which were warmly received. The cheer team hosted a two-day mini-cheer camp for Elementary students. ACT/CCRA prep tests are in progress. The Wise Owl program rewards students with no discipline, attendance, or behavioral issues with a week of special lunches. The NHS Academic Team hosted the Area Meet, and in Mrs. Phillips' class, students explored subjects from U.S. History to Economics. Coach Oliver is leading a successful campus cleanup effort. Upcoming events include the livestock show at Grady County Fairgrounds, a blood drive, the Alpha Plus Summative (Mock State Testing, and Parent-Teacher Conferences.
