Mitchell County Primary School

Today, our students celebrated reading during the One School, One Book Quiz Bowl based on Here’s Hank: Bookmarks Are People Too! Students had fun showing what they learned while demonstrating teamwork and a love of reading!

Congratulations to our grade-level winners:

🏆 Kindergarten: Mrs. Crumbley’s class
🏆 First Grade: Ms. Finney’s class
🏆 Second Grade: Mrs. C. Thomas’s class

We are proud of all our Baby Eagles who participated in this schoolwide reading adventure! ❤️🤍💙

Our One School, One Book initiative is off to a great start! This week, our Baby Eagles are enjoying Here’s Hank! We’re excited to see our students reading, making connections, and bringing the story to life.

Our 1st grade students took the experience a step further! Not only did they read the story, but they also enjoyed some of the characters’ favorite treats and used bookmarks featuring their favorite characters as they read. What a fun way to make reading meaningful and memorable!

Parents, be sure to ask your child to tell you about Here’s Hank. We would love to hear what they have learned and what they are enjoying most about the story. Drop some of the things they share with you in the comments!

📈🦅 Our Baby Eagles are SOARING!

We are excited to celebrate the incredible growth reflected in our 2025–2026 K–2 district data! Our youngest learners made meaningful gains in reading and math, building a strong academic foundation for continued success. ❤️💙

These results reflect the hard work and commitment of our students, teachers, staff, families, and school leaders who work together each day to help every student grow.

Guided by Superintendent Dr. Veronica Brown’s vision of soaring toward success, we’re proud of the progress—and we’re just getting started! This year, we will continue building on this momentum, strengthening foundational skills, and Rallying the Eagles toward even greater growth and achievement! 🦅📚✨

Parents, please help us set our Baby Eagles up for success by making sure they are well-rested, arrive at school on time, and are present each day of testing. Encourage your child to take their time, do their very best, and remember that we are already proud of them!

Together, we can help every Baby Eagle start the year strong and SOAR toward success!

Thank you to our amazing students, families, faculty, and staff for making this the sweetest first week of school!

This week was about so much more than sweet treats, it was about building relationships, getting to know one another, learning classroom rituals and routines, establishing expectations, and creating a strong foundation for a successful school year. Every smile, every new friendship, and every lesson learned has helped our Baby Eagles feel welcomed, safe, and ready to learn.

We hope everyone enjoyed their sweet treats as we celebrated an incredible first week together. Here's to a year filled with learning, growth, kindness, and unforgettable memories. We are excited to watch our Baby Eagles SOAR all year long!
