Maple Elementary kindergarten and preschool students wrapped up their literacy unit on farming with a hands-on experience they won’t soon forget. Students had the chance to meet three goats and two chickens, learn about farm animals, and even practice gentle petting as classes rotated through the experience. We love seeing learning come alive in such fun and meaningful ways! 🐐





Innovation Learning will be open from 8:00-5:00 at Horizon Elementary School for students enrolled in the program.

"Sarale is such a hardworking lunch aide here at Horizon! She buzzes around the cafeteria, ensuring all students are taken care of during their lunch shift. She is always informing the teachers on how their classes were behaving, as well as bragging on how awesome they were during lunch! She definitely is a bright light here at our school, we are very lucky to have her!"

"I want to give a shout-out to Dannel Blackwell for being a amazing team player. She shows kindness to everyone around her and is always willing to step in and help wherever she's needed.

Today we’re rewinding to 2007, when the Smithville FFA and Library Club gathered for their group photos—two very different crews, but all with the same warrior pride. Whether they were tending projects or turning pages, these students knew how to make their mark.
Do any of these friendly faces look familiar?
