Last week, our 5th graders wrapped up their Cold War unit by learning about Colonel Gail Halvorsen — also known as “The Candy Bomber.” Students researched his kindness mission and the candy drop project, then put their learning into action by designing, building, and testing their own candy parachutes!
The goal? Get their candy to float gently to the ground… and once they succeeded, they enjoyed a sweet reward! 🍭
Hands-on learning + history + engineering + teamwork = a memorable day in Mrs. Thompson’s class! 💙

We are overwhelmed with gratitude — thanks to your generosity, our Thanksgiving Food Drive collected nearly 3,000 items! These donations will go directly to supporting families right here in Camden, and we could not be more thankful for the kindness shown by our Sugarmill community.

Sugarmill is truly something special. 💛💙

Our K–2 Eagles had the best time watching CCHS Theatre’s performance of The Trial of the Big Bad Wolf this morning! The students were engaged, laughing, and absolutely loving the show.
A big thank you to Mr. Hill and the talented CCHS Theatre students for sharing your hard work, creativity, and time with us. You brought so much joy to our school today! 💙🦅







Our first graders in Mrs. Renshaw’s class have been learning all about animal adaptations and what animals need to survive! Last Friday, students participated in a hands-on science experiment to simulate how spiders liquify their prey before eating.
The bowl acted as the spider’s web, the sugar cube was the “prey,” and the water represented the spider’s special digestive enzymes (or as the kids called it… spider slobber! 😄).
Learning is so much more fun when we can see it and try it! 🧠✨
Way to go, Eagles! 💙

🌟 Happy Georgia Pre-K Week, Eagles! 🌟
Recently, our youngest Eagles had so much fun celebrating with a Sugarmill Spirit Day and outdoor fun with friends! 💙💛
This week (October 6 – 10) we’re joining schools across the state in recognizing the importance of early learning. Our Pre-K students even received a special book — Every Amazing Story — from Governor Brian Kemp and First Lady Marty Kemp, written by Coy Bowles and Malcolm Mitchell. 📚✨
We’re so proud of our littlest learners and their amazing teachers who make every day an adventure in learning and growing! 🦅💛

The book sparked curiosity and movement as students acted out parts depending on which character was speaking. This powerful story encourages kids to think about empathy, respect, and valuing all living things—big or small. 🌎❤️
A huge thank you to Dr. Morris for bringing both learning and fun to our Eagles! 🦅
