Mrs. Boyer at Eisenhower Elementary has a favorite way to start the kindergarten journey! On the first day of school, each student writes their name and draws a self-portrait. She saves them and hands them back at the end of the year—students love seeing how much they’ve grown! Another class favorite? Sunshine Student! ☀️ Each week, one student is celebrated with a special poster and fun activities. She loves learning about each student and helping everyone get to know each other better! #WarsawInspires

In Mrs. Anderson’s class at Washington Elementary, students are bucket fillers! Every time they show kindness, include a friend or use encouraging words, they get to add a pom-pom to their bucket. Once it’s full—they earn a prize! It’s a fun way to remind students that small acts of kindness make a big impact, and when we lift others up, we all shine brighter! She also loves celebrating those “I did it!” moments—like when a student writes their name or blends sounds for the first time. Every victory, big or small, is worth cheering for! Want to see more of what makes our classrooms so special? Join us on April 2 to explore them all! #WarsawInspires

For Mrs. Driscoll at Madison Elementary, the best part of kindergarten is welcoming new students into a loving school family! 💙 She still laughs about a student telling his parents what he learned on Groundhog's Day- “If the beaver sees his shadow, it means six more days of Christmas!” 😂 Every day is an adventure in kindergarten! Join us on April 2 at 6 PM for Kindergarten Kick-Off and start the journey! #WarsawInspires

At WCS, Kindergarten is full of fun traditions and creating lasting memories! Miss Perry at Harrison Elementary loves celebrating special moments with her class—like Thanksgiving feasts with families and field trips to Knollbrook Farm! One of her favorite student quotes? “Miss Perry, I really like school because it helps me learn my brain!” Kindergarten is full of learning, laughter and unforgettable moments! #WarsawInspires

What an incredible night at Pink Out! 💗 A huge shoutout to our cheerleaders and cheer block for their energy and leadership in rallying the crowd, and to our football players for proudly wearing pink socks and donating $500 to the Cancer Care Fund. 🙌 Carson Chizum shared, “Wearing the socks and seeing all the pink means a lot to me, not only because it supports our student-led Cancer Care Fund, but it also gives awareness to anyone affected by breast cancer. My grandma was diagnosed in May, and I’m proud to support pink for the night.” Reese Finley added, "As a team, Pink Out is one of our favorite games of the year! With two of my loved ones now survivors, it's amazing to be a part of a group of students who give back in such a big way!" A special thank you to our incredible community members for showing up, spreading awareness, and supporting the fight against breast cancer! 📷 Photo credit: Jasmine McKinley for the photos and Kyle Carter for the drone shots. #WarsawInspires #PinkOutNight
