🎉 MS Honor Roll Recognition – First Quarter! 🎉
We are thrilled to celebrate our 5th–8th grade students for their outstanding academic achievements! This year, over 50% of our student body earned Honor Roll, up from just over 30% in the first quarter last year.
A special shout-out to these scholars for demonstrating strong work habits, intentional study routines, and taking ownership of monitoring their grades.
We also want to thank our dedicated staff for supporting students through weekly grade checks, teaching organizational habits, planning for improvement, and providing the resources needed for success. And thank you to our parents for engaging with students about their progress: your conversations about what’s going well and areas to improve make a huge difference.
It takes a village and we appreciate the partnership. Keep up the amazing work! 🌟

Recognizing the increasing amount of time we spend on digital devices, the AGWSR Elementary is challenging students and educators to ask critical questions before engaging with digital tools. We want to be proactive by ensuring that technology is used appropriately and in moderation, encouraging thoughtful screen time throughout the day.
Is this activity intended for educational purposes or leisure?
Does this technology foster collaboration or creativity?
Can the task be accomplished more effectively without a device?
Does the use of a device hinder face-to-face conversations for that activity?
By reflecting on these questions, students can develop a more mindful relationship with technology. To support this, we are collecting “Distraction-Free Donations” to provide fun, hands-on alternatives to ipads during the school day.
Distraction-Free Donations:
Play-doh and plastic tools
Board games
Decks of cards
Card Games(UNO, Go fish, Crazy 8’s, Old Maid)
Word searches
Seek and Finds
Small Lego kits
Puzzles(25pcs to 200pcs)
Puzzle Mats
Rubik’s cube
Spirographs
How to Books
Crafts- ex…latch hook, bracelets, etc..
Paint by number
Large wall colorsheet
Magna tiles
Lincoln Logs
Mini White Boards
Etch A Sketch
Magna Doodle
We welcome both new or used…so if you are cleaning out a game or craft closet, send them our way. Thanks in advance for helping us with this challenge.
