🌟 Celebrating excellence and student leadership at Cartwright Elementary!

#CartwrightElementarySchool stands among a select group, one of only 11 schools in Tennessee to receive the STEAM designation this year, and just 144 out of approximately 1,900 schools statewide to earn this distinction. This recognition highlights a strong commitment to innovative, hands-on learning.📚✨

That learning is also showing up in meaningful #student work. Fifth grade #students have been engaged in a project-based learning experience centered on kindness, collaboration and community. As part of their work, they created a kindness banner that is now proudly displayed and available for students and staff to sign.

It says: "At Cartwright Elementary, we lift each other up with KIND words and helping HANDS!" Principal Whitney Yoes and Assistant Principal Malcolm Martin kicked things off this morning by signing the banner first!

Together, these experiences reflect a school culture where academic growth and character development go hand in hand.🌱💫

✨👾 Bringing Stories to Life One Friendly Monster at a Time! 👾✨

FCCLA members and Fashion Design students from #CommunityHighSchool partnered with Mrs. Thompson’s 1st grade class at #CommunityElementarySchool to kick off Read Across America with a creative literacy project.📚✨

Guided by Mrs. Friedman, #students created monster templates, planning sheets and story prompts to support imagination and writing skills. First graders designed their own unique monsters, describing their appearance and personality, then wrote original stories titled “My Friendly Monster.”📝💡

Fashion Design students then transformed the drawings into handmade stuffed monsters, bringing each character to life.🧵🪡

Students later met as reading buddies, using the stuffed creations as storytelling props and comforting companions while sharing their stories aloud.

The project highlighted creativity, mentorship and the power of storytelling across grade levels. 💛💜
