Building Big & Small Muscles!

A huge shoutout to Ms. Heather and Ms. Misty's class for showing off some incredible motor skill work today!

Motor skills form the foundation for physical independence and academic success:

Gross Motor (Big Muscles): Running, jumping, and balancing build core strength, coordination, and confidence on the playground.

Fine Motor (Small Muscles): Cutting, stringing beads, and holding a crayon build hand strength for writing and self-care tasks.

We are so proud of our hard-working students for growing stronger every day!

Today had a wonderful day full of music, smiles, and stories as we celebrated our SECOND first day of preschool! We can't wait to see everyone next week!

Our building was full of life, laughter, and learning today as our first group of students made their way through the doors this morning! Wonderful doesn't begin to describe the amazing day we had!

As we prepare to welcome our preschoolers for soft opening tomorrow and Thursday, we wanted to share a quick visual guide for the car rider line!

Car Rider Line Details:

Entry: Enter the parking lot via 7th Street by turning right into the lot.

Merging: Form two lines in the lot, which will merge into one at the flag pole (staff will be there to assist!).

Bus Lane: Please keep the bus lane clear so our buses can exit safely.

We cannot wait to meet our preschoolers over the coming days!"

We are feeling very thankful on opening day. Thank you to Zion Baptist Church's Willing Workers Sunday School class who provided a delicious lunch to our staff as we gathered together today to prepare for the 2026-2027 school year!

TBJ ELC students will not begin school tomorrow, but will begin next week with our soft opening. Your child's teacher will contact you with information about their first day of school. We can't wait to have them here!
