Huffman Academy held its first-ever PBIS A.R.M.O.R. Carnival to celebrate students who consistently demonstrated positive behavior and upheld the school’s A.R.M.O.R. expectations throughout the school year. Students enjoyed an afternoon filled with a cake walk, temporary tattoos, balloon animals, a photo booth, and a chalk art station as part of the celebration.

It's always a great day to be a Viking!

Day 3 of Teacher Appreciation Week was one for the decades! 🕺🏽💃🏽 Our teachers and staff had a great time stepping back in time, showing off their creativity and style in their decades attire.

We were also excited to welcome Birmingham City Schools Board President Sherman Collins, who stopped by this morning with a special surprise! We thank Board President Collins for his continued support of our school and for always showing love to our Huffman Academy family. 🧡💚

Teachers and staff enjoyed a delicious barbecue lunch sponsored by our amazing community partner, Flavors. Even though the day was cut short, the love and appreciation were still felt throughout the building.

To make the day even more special, our community partner Black & White Photography provided Teacher Appreciation photos for everyone — a gift our staff will cherish for years to come!

We are so grateful for the continued support and for the joy poured into our teachers this week! 🧡💚

This week, teachers are also participating in daily trivia for a chance to win gift cards sponsored by Huffman Academy’s Admin Team. Congratulations to today’s winner, Ms. Washington! 🎉

To top it all off, faculty came together after school for fellowship, enjoying refreshing fruit slushies and snacks while spending time with one another.
