Our 5th Grade Trailblazers wrapped up their science unit on animal adaptations with an exciting hands-on owl pellet dissection! Students became scientists as they investigated the bones and remains found inside the pellets to learn more about owl diets, food chains, and how animals adapt to survive in their environments.

A huge thank you to our PTO for funding the grant that provided the supplies for this engaging learning experience. We are so grateful for your continued support of our students and classrooms!

We were honored to welcome the graduating seniors from Yulee High School as they walked the halls. Our students and staff lined the hallways with cheers, high-fives, and excitement as we celebrated these incredible seniors and all they have accomplished.

At the same time, we are also celebrating our amazing 5th grade students as they prepare to take their next big step to middle school! 🎉📚

From elementary hallways to graduation caps, today was a beautiful reminder that every journey starts somewhere — and we are so proud to be part of theirs.
