Spent Valentine’s Day weekend with my favorite group! Might not have advanced to nationals but this team won an award that shows their true character. Duke Decoders won the Motivate Award, an award that celebrates a team that embraces the true culture of FIRST LEGO League

For Black History Month, classrooms decorated their doors to highlight various HBCU's and prominent black athletes, artists, etc. Check out those doors, along with another project! (1/2)

Special thanks to Atiya Jones, a local artist, who graciously spoke to Mrs. Folkmire's 5th grade ELA students about art and using art as an emotional outlet. Afterwards, Atiya led our students through an artistic exercise of their own. Thank you, Atiya, for this valuable lesson!
