Lanigan Elementary School fourth graders have learned that hard work leads to great rewards. They exemplified that idea during the recent Parent-Teacher Group’s Bingo Night.

In the library, students in grades kindergarten through second helped Messner read aloud her book, “Sea Monsters First Day” and commented just how fun it is to experience a good book.

Twenty-six Fairgrieve Elementary School students were recognized during a Morning Express program for exceeding classroom expectations throughout the month of October.

The Fulton City School District’s Universal Pre-Kindergarten program is focused on helping students develop math and literacy skills. That was accomplished during the recent fall 2016 UPK Family Night at the district’s education center.

Fairgrieve Elementary School staff members are committed to increased school-to-home communication and to engage parents in their child’s learning. This is being accomplished, in part, by the school’s Lunch and Learn programs where parents are invited to join their child at lunch to hear tips on how to help their child establish, reach and exceed academic and behavior goals.

While the students are not old enough to donate blood, their promotion of and work for a recent blood drive at the school will help save dozens of people. As part of the first grade Listening and Learning domain about the human body, the blood drive served as a project-based learning activity.
