A big THANK YOU to Hanna Mullins with Texarkana Children’s Advocacy Center for taking the time to speak with our 5th and 6th grade students! 👏

Throughout these important sessions, students have learned about topics that help them make safe, healthy, and responsible choices, including:

🔹 Healthy vs. Unhealthy Relationships
🔹 Bullying & Cyberbullying
🔹 Internet Safety
🔹 The Four Types of Abuse
🔹 Five Important Safety Rules

These conversations are so valuable in helping our students recognize unsafe situations, build healthy relationships, and understand the importance of speaking up and seeking help when needed.

We are incredibly thankful for community partners like Hanna who invest their time in educating, empowering, and protecting our students! 🧡🖤

Mrs. Anna’s kindergarten students were busy exploring geometry with their geoboards! 🐻

Our little mathematicians learned about regular and irregular triangles while practicing how to identify a triangle’s 3 sides and 3 vertices! 🔺

The learning didn’t stop there! Students partnered up to show off their creations, share their knowledge, and explain what makes a triangle a triangle!

We love seeing our youngest Bears building math skills, confidence, and communication through hands-on learning! 🧡
