🌪️💙 HURRICANE GRIT IN ACTION! ❤️🤍

A HUGE Castlen Cubs shoutout to our feeder pattern school, Alma Bryant High School, and the amazing senior students who came to The Castle to help give our teacher workroom a much-needed makeover! 🎨🖌️

These seniors didn’t just paint a room—they gave their time, energy, and talents to make a difference in the school community. We are incredibly grateful for their hard work and willingness to serve!

These students are true examples of Hurricane GRIT:

🌱 G — Growth
💪 R — Resilience
🤝 I — Integrity
🔥 T — Toughness

What a wonderful example of what can happen when our schools work together and our students lead through service! We are proud to call Alma Bryant one of our feeder pattern partners and even prouder of these outstanding seniors.

Thank you, Hurricanes, for helping make The Castle a little brighter! 🏰❤️🤍💙

📱 Should Students Have Phones at School? 🤔✏️

Our 3rd grade Cubs tackled a topic they definitely have opinions about today! Students were hard at work developing argumentative writing pieces about cell phones at school.

They practiced stating a clear claim, supporting their thinking with reasons and evidence, and organizing their ideas into strong arguments. We love seeing our Cubs learn how to use their voices—and back up what they have to say! ❤️💙🐯

Great thinking and great writing happening in 3rd grade at The Castle! 🏰

🍪 Opinion Writing Never Tasted So Good! 🍪

Our 4th grade Cubs put their opinions to the test today with an OREO Tasting! ❤️💙

Students sampled different Oreo flavors and used their experience to support their opinions with strong reasons and details. What a fun (and delicious!) way to bring ELA standards to life! ✏️🍪

Learning is always a little sweeter at The Castle! 🏰🐯
