Congratulations to Ms. Jennifer Neathery for being the Chick-fil-A Teacher of the Month for December. Her dedication and love for our children at Clara Hearne can not be measured. Ms. Neathery shared during her interview on WPTM with Alan Garrett that none of it would be possible without her amazing assistant, Ms. Michelle Ricks.

December's Classroom of the Month is Mrs. Fagbeyrio and Mrs. Duncan's! Congratulations

A special thank you to Cathy Keeter for be the judge for our door decorating contest. Our top door was "Polar Express" by Ms. Ricks and Ms. Smith. Second place was "Christmas Tree" by Ms. Wade and Ms. Orise!

Thank you parents for bringing your student to our Cookies with Santa last night. We enjoyed sharing the spirit of the season.

Ms. Kelley's class had a blast learning in the dark. They had a glow stick party where they learned about shapes. They used their glow sticks to draw shapes and letters in the air. Learning through play is so much fun.
