We loved celebrating our January student leaders at our Leaders of the Month Breakfast! These amazing students were recognized for their leadership, and we were so glad to have families join us to honor them. 💙

Huge thank you to Truett’s Grill, Griffin for generously donating chicken minis and juice—our students loved it!

We are so proud of each of these awesome kids and the leadership they show every day!

🎂🎉 Happy Birthday, Mr. Hawkins! We celebrated by going everything but birthday! Classes and staff members brought non-birthday balloons, creating a wild balloon jungle in his office! And if that wasn’t enough fun, he also received framed team photos in true vintage JCPenney family-photo style—timeless, dramatic, and absolutely priceless. 📸
