📚✨ Inspiring Day at Sugarmill! ✨📚 Today, our EXTRA special teacher, Mrs. Payne, shared an amazing story with her students about Malcolm Mitchell—Super Bowl Champion, Author, Keynote Speaker, and Founder/CEO of Share the Magic Foundation. 🏆📖 The students watched a brief documentary on how Malcolm worked hard to overcome challenges and learn to read. His dedication led him to write a children's book, which our little Eagles got to read together in class! 🦅 This story truly inspired our students to keep working hard and strengthening their reading skills. 💪 Thank you, Mrs. Payne, for sharing such a powerful message with our students today! 📚❤️ #ReadingIsMagic #InspireOurEagles #SugarmillStrong #MalcolmMitchell #SESEaglesSoar #SESEagles

Exciting news for our 5th Grade Eagles! 🎉 Students at Sugarmill Elementary were given an opportunity on Friday to participate in a "Violin Petting Zoo" in collaboration with the Golden Isles Youth Orchestra (GIYO). Volunteers and instructors from GIYO brought in violins for the students to handle and try out! Students heard several selections performed by Ms. Kaitlyn Smedley, a professional violinist from the Coastal Symphony of Georgia, and Ms. Lucie Akkermans from the Golden Isles Youth Orchestra. This year, students in 5th grade will be offered the opportunity to participate in after-school violin lessons under the instruction of Ms. Lucie Akkermans for the Fall semester. Through a generous donation specifically for Camden County Schools, we are able to offer the lessons for the entire semester, including use of a violin, music book and stand, for only $50! Students will learn the parts of a violin, proper handling and how to read music, proper finger positions, as well as several pieces of music. We can’t wait to see what our eagles learn this semester! If your 5th grade Eagle is interested in participating this semester, please contact our Art Teacher, Mrs. Shumway!

Friday in Mrs. Renshaw's Room! Last week in our new HMH curriculum, first grade focused on friendship. Our story, “A Kid’s Guide to Friends,” taught us all about how to make friends and be a good friend to others. To celebrate what we learned, we had a ‘Fun Food Friday’ and made a special Friendship Fruit Salad! Each ingredient represented our wonderful classroom — kind friends, hardworking students, and kids who use kind words and hands. We also talked about how we only want positive attitudes in our classroom. We had a juicy apple that looked good on the outside, but when we cut it open, it was rotten inside. The kids decided we didn’t want to add a “bad apple” to our friendship salad. This sparked a great discussion about how we all want to be kind, positive, and supportive — just like our fruit salad! We’re so grateful to have a class full of Eagles who are as sweet as can be! 🍎🍊🍇 #FriendshipSalad #HMH #FunFoodFriday #SESEaglesSoar #SESEagles #SugarmillElementary

🦅 Today in Mrs. Clelland's 2nd Grade Class 🦅 Our bright and hard-working eagles soared to new heights today! The students spent time working on word chains, recognizing letter sounds, and making words in a fun and engaging way. It was wonderful to see them so excited about learning. They’re building strong foundations for reading and writing, one word at a time. Keep up the amazing work, Eagles! 📝✨ #SESEaglesSoar #2ndGrade #BrightEagles #LearningIsFun #WordChains #SugarmillEagles #SugarmillElementary #SESEagles

First grade students love Pete the Cat! After reading Pete the Cat books, students created their own Pete the Cat and shared some fun facts about themselves. Our eagles love practicing their writing skills in fun and creative ways. As Pete would say, "it's all good!" #SugarmillElementary #SESEagles #PetetheCat #1stgrade #LearningIsFun
