Sharing the best day at Loyd School. 2016 right before our school closed down.

Our PIE partners at WRBL News 3 and Kinetic Credit Union (as well as our military partners) made it possible for our panthers to say good bye with a smile. What other way than lip dubbing our daily morning song: HAPPY!
PLEASE TAG YOURSELVES IF YOU WERE PART OF THIS EXPERIENCE!

FRANK R. LOYD SCHOOL Happy Video- 3-5- Lipudub/dance WRBL Pie Partners taped the video for the school, which closes in Fort Benning after 57 years of service.

10 Years Ago ...Loyd's 50th anniversary in 2009. AND THE UNVEILING of the Panther that welcomes visitors to the Dodea Americas South East HQ. An amazing job! We have nearly 900 pictures to load.We'll get there...Eventually 🤣

This is something that takes us back to our last Principal, Mrs. Martinez “If you always do what you’ve always done, you will always get what you’ve always got.” - words of wisdom

MEMORY LANE!
You may or may not know that Loyd pioneered the DoDEA Foreign Language in the Elementary School (FLES) program back in 2006. As part of our 2008 school-wide project, a COQUI FROG from 🇵🇷 was sent around the world. It visited EVERY inhabitable continent and over 12 countries. Here are the highlights from: South Africa, Iraq and China.

More pics will come as they appear because photographs back then were sent as hard copies and not emailed I(n their majority.) The fun was to receive the letters and open them up to read them to the kids. Yes, letters as in "paper and ink"! Keep your fingers crossed! These are amazing memories.

Memory: Part of the Fitness Revolution PIE Plan proposed by the PIE partners of the 2/58 and WRBL News 3 for Loyd School, a year prior to it closing down. All students and teachers received one.

WOW! More memories sent our way! Remember when 203rd was our PIE partner for years on end? That's their magnet.

The other, was a magnet made for our presentation at the Chamber of Commerce on how we were a Gold Partnership with donations being limited to items of need, since we are a DoDEA school. Our PIE partners were worth their weight in gold!
