April 1st 2026- Paraprofessional Appreciation Day is a special day dedicated to those who work in a classroom supporting students to ensure educational success. In the school sector, paraprofessional educators are also known as Behavior Support Specialists, Teacher Assistants, and Paraeducators. These fantastic people deliver targeted support to students who may need extra help and work to maintain the classroom, keeping it running smoothly. Paraprofessionals are the unsung heroes of the education system - without their strong foundation, teachers frequently report feeling overwhelmed and overworked. Paraprofessionals help shoulder the workload and allow teachers to focus on what they do best - teach! Paraprofessional Appreciation Day seeks to bring these professionals to the forefront and show them a little extra love for all the incredible work they do, day in and day out.

🔎Mystery at HAES: The Case of the Missing Tests! 🔍
Mrs. Russ’s class went on an exciting mission to uncover the culprit behind the missing tests—just in time to save Spring Break! 🕵️♂️🌸
Using their skills in inference, context clues, and identifying the main idea, students worked together to solve the mystery. After carefully analyzing the evidence, they discovered that the culprit was none other than… Coach Padgett!
What a fun and engaging way to put critical thinking skills into action! 👏📚

At TCS, 5th grade students took part in conservation efforts by growing Venus Flytraps in their classroom to replant at Carolina Beach State Park, on the Venus Flytrap Trail, which is the ecosystem they can be found. Venus Flytraps are only found in North Carolina and South Carolina in the coastal areas, no where else do they grow. The Park Ranger told us that people come from all over the world to visit that park just to see the Venus Flytraps in our very own backyard.

As part of our March Madness Challenge, this week, students turned learning time into MOVEMENT time—combining rigorous thinking with relay races, partner games, math manipulatives and lots of smiles as they showed what they know. Thank you to our teachers for designing engaging, standards-based activities that get bodies AND brains moving, and to our students for giving their best effort on every play. Columbus County Schools is all in on making learning active, joyful, and challenging—on and off the court! Check out the video: https://youtu.be/3WZen5ASBW0
