Shout out to our school nurse, Mrs. Tara Rozier! Our school nurse is an essential part of our campus community. She cares for students with compassion, responds quickly to health needs, and provides reassurance to both students and staff throughout the day. When she is not on campus, her absence is immediately felt, not only in managing illness and injuries, but in the calm and support she brings to our school environment. We are truly grateful for all she does and deeply appreciate the difference she makes each and every day.
Our teachers are the heart of our school and the foundation of student success. Each day, they bring dedication, creativity, and care into their classrooms to ensure every student is learning and growing. They plan meaningful lessons, differentiate instruction to meet individual needs, and create safe, supportive environments where students feel valued.
Beyond academics, our teachers build strong relationships, serve as role models, and encourage students to do their best every day. We are deeply grateful for their hard work, patience, and commitment to making a lasting impact on every child they teach.

Our Lunch Heroes play a vital role in keeping our school running smoothly each day. They prepare and serve meals with care, kindness, and consistency, making sure every student is nourished and ready to learn. Beyond the food, they create a welcoming and supportive environment in the cafeteria where students feel valued and cared for. We are truly grateful for their hard work, positivity, and dedication to our school community.
Thank you to our Lunch Heroes, Nicole Cooper, Dewayne Cummings, Unokachy Leonard, Shonda Willis, Brittany Hunt, and Laura Shaw!

It’s Library Week! Our school library is a hub for learning, creativity, and exploration. It gives students access to books, technology, and the skills they need to think, grow, and succeed as lifelong learners.
A special shoutout to our media coordinator, Mrs. Cathy Emanuel! We are so grateful for Mrs. Emanuel, who stepped out of retirement to support our school this year. She has brought incredible organization to our media center while managing Chromebooks and supporting technology needs across the building with patience and care. Her steady presence and willingness to serve have been a true gift to our Bruins family.

Our administrative professionals, Lynn Previtte, Christy Ward, and Christy Bentley, are truly the heartbeat of our school. From keeping our operations running smoothly to supporting students, staff, and families with care and precision, they do it all—often behind the scenes. Our secretary/bookkeeper ensures everything stays organized and on track, our data manager keeps us informed and accountable, and our parent liaison builds strong, meaningful connections with our families. Their dedication, attention to detail, and unwavering support create a foundation that allows our entire school community to thrive. We are incredibly grateful for all they do each and every day.
