📚💚 Read Across Green Celebration! 💚📚
A huge THANK YOU to our special Read Across Green guest readers, Senator Kamesha Mumford and Attorney Gerald Mumford, for spending time with our students and sharing the joy of reading!

After enjoying the story If I Ran the Horse Show, our students and staff had an unforgettable experience riding horses and bringing the story to life. 🐎📖 The excitement, smiles, and laughter made it a day to remember!
To add even more fun to the celebration, everyone showed their spirit for reading with our Wacky Sock Day—and the socks were as creative and colorful as our readers! 🧦✨

🎉📚 Read Across Green – Day 2 Spotlight! 📚🎉
We are having so much fun celebrating Read Across Green Week! Today, our students got creative by making their very own Dr. Seuss–inspired hats using strawberries and marshmallows 🍓🤍 Talk about a deliciously fun way to bring stories to life!

We are so grateful for the time, enthusiasm, and joy our readers are bringing to our school community. We can’t wait to see what the rest of the week holds! 💚📖

Kindergarten students stood in front of their peers,and practiced valuable speaking and listening skills. They used clear voices, complete sentences, and brave hearts to explain their Black history projects. Classmates showed respect by listening carefully, making eye contact, and asking thoughtful questions. It was wonderful to see such confidence and curiosity in action! Way to Go scholars!

🎤✨ Wax Museum Celebration of Black History & Excellence ✨📚
Our students truly brought history to life during today’s Wax Museum showcase! Families and guests were welcomed with beautiful hymns sung by our students, setting a powerful and uplifting tone for the event.

Throughout the program, students confidently recited original and classic poetry inspired by African American culture, resilience, and achievement. Their voices echoed messages of hope, courage, and unity.

The highlight of the event was our interactive Wax Museum, where students transformed into influential African American figures. Each “living statue” shared speeches and historical facts, educating visitors about the lasting impact of these trailblazer.

What a night to remember at the Sweetheart Sneaker Ball at Green Elementary! 💖👟
Our students lit up the dance floor with their biggest smiles and best moves, rocking their favorite sneakers in style. From twirls and spin moves to group dance circles and laughter with friends, the gym was filled with energy, joy, and school spirit! ✨
A huge thank you to our amazing staff and families who helped make this event so special. We love seeing our Green Elementary community come together to create memories our students will cherish for years to come! 💚

💚 Happy Counselor Appreciation Week! 💚
This week, we celebrated our incredible school counselor, Joyce Jones at Green Elementary! Thank you for being a constant source of support, kindness, and encouragement for our students, staff, and families. Just a little something out of the blue to say we love you!!!

We are proud to showcase a unique and inspiring art piece created by Mrs. Cheryl Smith, Artist, owner of Art-N-Color, and retired Art Teacher. This vibrant piece, Mr. Hornet, was creatively designed using bottle caps collected by students as part of a recycling effort.
The plastic water bottles collected during this project were donated to Keep Jackson Beautiful, reinforcing the importance of environmental stewardship alongside artistic expression.
This meaningful artwork is currently displayed in our entry breezeway, welcoming everyone with a powerful message of creativity, teamwork, and sustainability. Be sure to stop by and take a look!
👏 Thank you to Mrs. Smith and our students for turning recycled materials into something truly special!

Our students proudly showed off that they are 100 days smarter, and it was wonderful to spotlight their growth, hard work, and creativity.
From counting activities to fun outfits and big smiles, this milestone reminded us just how much our PreK–5th students have learned along the way.
