🐰 The Easter Bunny made a special appearance!
We are excited to share the Kirby Kindergarten and First Grade winners from this year’s Pike County Conservation Coloring Contest!
Our students did an amazing job, and we are so proud of their creativity and hard work. Congratulations to all of our winners!
Kirby Elementary families, for student safety, please remember:
School doors do not open until 7:30 AM.
Students who arrive at 7:30 should go directly to the cafeteria and remain there until dismissed. A duty teacher is on supervision in the cafeteria during this time
Elementary Hallways and classrooms open at 7:40 AM, when duty teachers begin supervision.
For your child’s safety, please do not drop students off before 7:30 AM, as no supervision is available before that time.
Thank you for helping us keep every student safe each morning.
Grades 4-8 will be reading, Wink by Rob Harrell during our One School, One Book Project this year. Wink is about Ross, a seventh grade student who has recently been diagnosed with a rare eye cancer. We were blessed to have two former students who are always ready to give back to our school and community come and speak with our students as we began this project! . Dr. Mandi Ott came and presented slides to students showing the anatomy of the eye and the procedures required to treat this type of cancer. Dr. Ott also explained how those treatments affect the eye itself, but sometimes come with unwanted side effects, such as a permanent "wink". Nurse Practitioner, Heather Funderburk also presented to our students about her family's own experience with a rare type of cancer. Her daughter, Ella, was diagnosed a few years ago with a rare type of cancer. Heather shared that much of their journey has been public, but there was much that was private as well. Ella is now in remission thanks to the special type of treatment she received, but Heather encouraged students to always be kind to others, as we do not always know what is going on in the lives of those around us. Very good advice for us all! Thanks again to these Trojan Alumni for taking time out of their very busy day to speak with our students! #onceatrojanalwaysatrojan #OSOB
Yesterday we began our One School, One Book Project with grades K-8. This year we are actually reading two novels., one for lower grades and one for middle grades. Kindergarten - Third Grade will reading, The World According to Humphrey by Betty G. Birney. The main character in the story is Humphrey, a hamster, who is the class pet. The library now has our own hamster and we will be having contest to choose a name for her very soon! We would like to thank Dr. Still from Nashville Animal Hospital for coming to present to our students about hamster care and facts that we needed to know! Dr. Still did a fantastic job and the students all enjoyed her presentation and we all learned some things we need to know to take good care of our new library pet! Parents be sure to encourage your K-3 student to read each day about Humphrey!
