National Elementary Honor Society or NEHS is one of the many activities at our school. Mrs. Elaine Herring and Ms. Erin Pennington sponsor this club. NEHS is for students who are in 5th and 6th grade, have met certain grade requirements along with demonstrating excellent attendance and behavior. These students work together through out the year in community service projects.

Our fourth graders have been working very hard this year! They are really enjoying the new Mac Books! They are helping with our reading tests because students always need to take tests. Speaking of reading, we have lots of students getting those bright blue reading t-shirts meaning they have achieved at least 35 reading points for the year. In spelling, reading, and grammar, students are practicing skills for ARMT+. In math, students are reviewing fourth grade skills for testing. In science, students are learning about the animal cycle. They had a fun activity on animal folktales recently. For Alabama history, they are learning about rebuilding Alabama after the Civil War. They are excited about their big Montgomery field trip just around the corner! Our fourth graders are really working hard this year!!
