Concord School District

For this week's Freshen Up Friday, Mrs. Baker's Food Safety and Nutrition class used their growing knowledge of cleaning and sanitizing to deep clean and prep the concession stand so that it is ready to stock for basketball season. Coach Richey was kind enough to share snacks with us, thanks Coach!!

Our 3rd graders are diving into science in a fun, interactive way! Today, they completed an online drag-and-drop labeling activity where they explored different types of forces. Students identified whether each object involved a push or pull, and whether the force was touching or non-touching. It was a great hands-on (and minds-on!) way to reinforce key concepts while building digital skills. 💜💛 It's A Great Year for A Great Year!

Our fourth graders have been diving into the world of energy and how it changes forms! This week, they explored circuits to see what happens when different pieces are disconnected or switched out. Lots of curiosity, hands-on learning. 💜💛 It's A Great Year for A Great Year!

Second grade has had an exceptional week!  We have completed our state’s Atlas screeners, started spelling test, attended the NED show, created simple machine in science and tackled even and odd number in math!! We are all looking forward to a long weekend and the Fair Field trip next week!  It's a Great Year for a Great Year💜💛

CHS has recently implemented DEAR (Drop Everything And Read) time into our district. On Wednesdays, we invite our entire school community—students, teachers, and staff—to Drop Everything And Read. For just 10 minutes each Wednesday, we’ll pause our regular routine for silent, sustained reading. This initiative promotes literacy, builds a culture of reading, and encourages everyone to discover the joy of a good book. Our students have been actively moving through the library, checking out books, and are already requesting more DEAR time than we originally allotted. This means we need more books to offer to them. What we are asking from our community members and stakeholders is for book donations. Our goal is to see a book bin in each teacher's classroom to encourage students to read in their free time. We will be accepting donations of high school-appropriate books at both the high school library and the elementary school library.

📚 READERS = LEADERS 🏆

Today, students from CHS and CES Project Prevent attended a Regional Conference at Harding University. 🌟 They learned valuable lessons about what it means to become a Prevention Superhero—equipped to stand strong against tobacco and substance abuse.

Together, we are building a safer, stronger future! 💜💛💪

Freshen Up Friday!! We are getting back in the groove of being on campus and always working to make things better. This morning involved Mr. York taking time to teach more students about procedures for taking care of our flags, and some of Mrs. Baker's students doing a little maintenance on our Spring landscaping to continue the growth of that project this year.

The Kindergarten classes have been busy making new friends, learning routines, exploring their classrooms, and discovering just how fun learning can be. We can already tell it’s going to be a wonderful year!

Get ready to kick off the school year with FUN!
Join us for our Back to School Bash — a time to celebrate, reconnect, and get pumped for an amazing year ahead!

We will miss our good and faithful Pirate servant next year! Job well done Mrs. Griffis. You truly made an amazing impact on all of your students throughout the years! We love you. 💜💛

Our FBLA students compete at the National Convention in Anaheim, California today. good luck kids! You have worked so hard!
