🎓✨ Yesterday, we celebrated a very special tradition at Thomas E. Kerns Elementary School — our Senior Clap Out! ✨🎓

We were honored to welcome back graduating seniors who once walked the halls of T.E. Kerns as elementary students. Our current students and staff lined the halls with cheers, applause, and pride as we celebrated their accomplishments and bright futures ahead.

Seeing our former students return in their caps and gowns was a powerful reminder that every journey begins somewhere — and we are so proud to have been part of theirs. Congratulations to the Class of 2026! Your T.E. Kerns family is cheering you on every step of the way. 🎉🎓

This week, we proudly celebrate Teacher & Staff Appreciation Week—a time to recognize the incredible dedication, passion, and heart that our educators and staff bring to our school community every single day.

From inspiring young minds in the classroom to supporting students behind the scenes, your impact reaches far beyond what words can fully capture. Thank you for the long hours, the encouragement, the patience, and the unwavering commitment you show to our students and each other. You are truly the foundation of our success, and we are so grateful for all that you do.

💙🍎 Your hard work does not go unnoticed, and this week is just a small reflection of the appreciation we have for you all year long.

A special thank you to ScanSource for sponsoring daily treats for our teachers and staff throughout the week. Your kindness and generosity made this celebration even more meaningful, and we deeply appreciate your support of our school community!

Last week, we celebrated an incredible leader, mentor, and role model—our principal, Ms. Ronda Simmons.

Your dedication to our students, staff, and community does not go unnoticed. You lead with compassion, strength, and a genuine belief in the potential of every child who walks through our doors. Because of you, our school is more than just a place to learn—it’s a place where people feel seen, supported, and inspired every single day.

You are the steady presence behind the scenes and the encouraging voice when it’s needed most. Whether you’re celebrating successes, guiding us through challenges, or simply taking the time to connect with students and staff, your impact is felt in countless ways. You create a culture of respect, growth, and positivity that makes our school truly special.

Thank you for the long hours, the tough decisions, and the heart you pour into everything you do. Thank you for believing in both our students and our staff, and for always pushing us to be our very best. Your leadership shapes not only our school, but the future of every student who walks through these halls.

We are grateful for your vision, your dedication, and your unwavering commitment to excellence. Our school is stronger because of you!

Happy (belated) National School Principals’ Day, Ms. Simmons! ♥
