A few parents have asked me about class pictures. We chose to skip out on class pictures and Spring pictures this year.  Please post or email your parents one last Class Picture before the end of the year!


Time to nominate for our last Team Member of the Month for this school year.  Please nominate a 2-5 teacher for this recognition.  Our last honorees were Donna Franklin and Tessa Mann.





Monday morning immediately following morning announcements we will "Clap Out" our Fifth Graders.  

 

The Fifth Graders will start close to 8:10 at their end of the hall and walk down the entire hall leaving the doors beside Bridges/Patterson’s room.  They will re-enter by the Art/Counselor room and then exit through the historic front doors. Please have your students in the halls and ready to cheer!

 

Shorter, Bamberg and Jones – immediately following announcements please join Pennington and Summers on their hall.  That hall should be lined with Kindergarten students when the Fifth Graders come in those end doors.

 

I encourage you to make posters, blow party horns, use the “clapping hands” or any other creative thing you can think of to encourage and show appreciation to our Fifth Graders.

 

Mrs. Smith will be taking pictures

Mrs. Prickett will be streaming LIVE on FB

Immediately after exiting the historic front doors, they will load buses for HTMS!





Here's your EOY Checklist and Checkout form.  Please print this form, staple it and turn in to Mrs. Tyner before you leave Friday, May 24. Room Assignments for 2024-2025 will be shared on or before May 23rd.

The School Board will be visiting all the schools Monday.  They will visit Cahaba 9:00-9:45.  My theme for the morning is "Cahaba develops student Leaders".  Members of our EnRICh experience, "The Voice" will present in the Curiosity Cave with members of the HTHS Leadership class.  We'll move down the hall to Mrs. McIntosh's room where they will hear all about "Cahaba Mentors" and our CES Dogs.  Mrs. Latham and Mrs. Pennington are collaborating with Mrs. McIntosh on this presentation. Before they leave, we'll go back to the library and hear from a couple of students who participated in "Trussville 360".  I don't expect to go to the back hall at all.

Expect  guest around all week.  The team completing our Vulnerability Study will be all around, inside and out.  We will also have Chad Summers and Marc Ward taking video around campus!  Look for a Cahaba Visitor Sticker or a TCS badge.  If you aren't sure about someone, never hesitate to text Officer Antonio, me or anyone in the office.

 

Thank you for supporting my AR Challenge.

All Kindergarten - Second Grade Classes met their "words read" Goal!
Pennington, McDonald and Johnson also earned a sweet treat for being the Top Class in their grade.

Third Grade had 71% meet the Challenge
Fourth Grade had 59% meet the Challenge
Fifth Grade had 56% meet the Challenge

I'll call out the names of the Top 10 students in grades 3-5 tomorrow morning.  I'll get a schedule to you for Thursday's Reward ASAP!
