🎉 What a fun way to wrap up Red Ribbon Week and celebrate our October PBIS Reward! 🎉 Students danced the day away at a Disney-themed dance party led by Mrs. Emrick’s PE classes from CHS and enjoyed a sweet treat — a Red Crush Float! ❤️🎶✨ We’re proud of our Lions for showing great behavior and making positive choices all month long! 🎃 Reminder: No school tomorrow, October 31st. Have a safe and Happy Halloween! 👻🦁🍬

📚 Several of our 3rd grade students had an unforgettable day at John A. Logan College’s Purdy School — stepping back in time to experience life in a one-room schoolhouse! From slate boards to reciting lessons, students got a glimpse of what school was like over a century ago. A huge thank you to former Tri-C Elementary teacher, Mrs. Jackie Koonce, for leading the lessons and bringing history to life for our students. 🦁
