🌟 Eagle Essential for April: COMMUNICATION 🦅💬 A simple question—“How are you?”—can open the door to connection! But when we just say “Good” and stop there, the conversation ends. Next time, try asking “How are you?” back! It keeps the conversation going and helps build stronger relationships. 💙 Let’s practice great communication this month, Eagles!

📊🐠🐬🦈🐙 Math + Fun in Mrs. Boiter’s Class! 🐙🦈🐬🐠📊 This week, Mrs. Boiter’s class is diving into the world of graphs—learning what they are, how to use them, and even how to create our own! As part of the lesson, students became data collectors, surveying staff members on their favorite sea creatures: shark, octopus, dolphin, or fish. 🌊 After gathering responses, the kiddos turned their data into bar graphs back in the classroom! 📉📈 Next, they will analyze the results and draw conclusions based on their findings. Hands-on learning + real-world application = one engaging math lesson! 🧠✨

🔥 Hagood Hearts in Action! ❤️🚒 Our Hagood staff, students, and families have truly shown the power of kindness and community! When the call went out to support the first responders battling the fires near Table Rock, you stepped up in a big way. 💪 💌 A huge shoutout to everyone who wrote encouraging cards for the firefighters working tirelessly to keep us safe. Your words of appreciation and gratitude will mean the world to them! 🍽️ Thank you to the volunteers who served meals to those on the front lines and helped make sure our heroes were taken care of. 🎁 And look at this amazing collection of donations for Greg Hayes and his dedicated team at Wesleyan Camp, who have been working around the clock to provide food and shelter for those responding to the fires. This is what makes Hagood special—a school and community that comes together to support one another in times of need. 💙💛
