Seventh Grade Visits Prickett's Fort! 🏰
Today, our 7th-grade students traveled back in time with a visit to Prickett's Fort! Despite the rain, they had a blast exploring the daily life of early settlers.
Students got to:
🪓 Try their hand at tomahawk throwing
🛡️ Learn about militia training and frontier defense
🧒 Play traditional children’s games
🔥 Watch a live blacksmithing demonstration
🧵 Discoved the importance of the early fur trade in colonial America
It was an exciting day full of hands-on learning and discovery about 18th-century life. A huge thank you to the staff at Prickett's Fort for such an immersive and educational experience!
The admin surprised the Rachel's Challenge groups composed of 5th and 6th grade students with T Shirts. The Rachel's Challenge groups focus on "Being Kind and Putting a Stop to Bullying." These groups will continue to lead the school in Kindness and standing Strong against Bullying.

🎲 Skittles + Math = Sweet Learning! 🍬📊
Yesterday, Ms. Andrews’ 7th Grade Math classes had a blast during a hands-on probability lab! Students used Skittles to explore the difference between theoretical and experimental probability.
They first calculated the theoretical probability of pulling a red Skittle from their pack, then put it to the test—recording the experimental results after 10, 50, and 100 pulls. It was a colorful and tasty way to see how math works in real life!
Way to go, 7th grade mathematicians! 👏 #MathInAction #HandsOnLearning #MiddleSchoolMoments #SkittleStats
Mrs. Peters 4th/6th period class had a challenge this year to complete two lessons each week and pass them to receive a point on their challenge board. This class went above and beyond and won every single monthly challenge. Today they were recognized with certificates and ice cream from Mrs. T. Great job Knights!
Taylor County students selected to participate in various Governor's Institutes scheduled for this summer were recognized during Tuesday's board meeting. Congratulations to all the students selected!
Our 5th grade rewards will be taking place in the auditorium on Thursday. Therefore, we are asking that 2 people only attend per student as the seating will be limited. Thank you for your understanding.
TCS Last Day of School Reminder:
All students were able to participate in bump up day. We bumped all grade levels up one grade so they could get a taste of what next year would be.
Students and teachers were fantastic during our hour long bump up.
