✨Once upon a time at Concrete Primary... it was Fairy Tale Day! 👑📚
Our students and staff brought their favorite storybook characters to life with magical costumes, big imaginations, and lots of smiles. From knights and princesses to dragons and fairy godmothers, it was a storybook dream come true! 💫📖
Today, we celebrate our incredible principal, Mrs. Padgett! Her leadership, dedication, and tireless support make a lasting difference in the lives of students, teachers, and families every day. We thank her for guiding us, inspiring us, and helping our school thrive!
🎨 Last week at Concrete Primary, students had the amazing opportunity to work with local artist Dale Stone during art class! Our second graders created a beautiful cityscape painting that will be on permanent display at our school, while kindergarten and first graders explored fun drawing formulas.
Our kindergarten students have been learning all about informational writing, and what better topic to explore than animals? Kindergarten classrooms researched and wrote about different animals. To celebrate their hard work and learning, they put on a zoo parade for the school—complete with creative costumes ! We’re so proud of our young writers and all they’ve accomplished!
✨ Fairy Tale Day! ✨
Friday, May 2nd🏰🧚♂️
Students are invited to dress as their favorite fairy tale character or dress up as if they are attending a royal ball. 👑🎉
We can't wait to see all the wonderful costumes and creativity!
💜 Purple Up for Military Kids! 💜
This week, we proudly celebrated Purple Up Day in honor of the Month of the Military Child! Our school community came together on April 23rd to recognize and support our amazing military-connected students. 💜
Congratulations to our cafeteria staff! They won an award for the SC Tray of the Week for this beautiful tray of food! We have the best cafeteria staff and are so thankful for the care and effort they pour into providing excellent meals for our students.
Purple up!
Join us in recognizing our military-connected children this April during the Month of the Military Child. The life of a military kid is a blend of unique adventures and challenges. Its important to keep in mind that they serve our country too, as part of a military family… not just in April, but all year long. We will celebrate our Military connected students on April 23rd with a Purple Up day. We encourage everyone to wear purple on April 23rd to support our Military connected families. Purple references the joint environment of the military, encompassing all services branches, Active Duty, Reserve, National Guard, and Veterans. Purple combines each branch’s colors into one: the Air Force, Navy, and Coast Guard all use shades of blue, the Army uses green, and the Marines use red. Please join us in celebrating our military connected students.
🌟 It’s Assistant Principal Appreciation Week! 🌟
We are incredibly thankful for our amazing Assistant Principals, Mrs. Porter and Mrs. Mahaffey, who work hard every day to support our students, staff, and school community. From morning greetings to solving problems with a smile, they go above and beyond to make our school a better place. 💙📚🎉
We are excited to announce our Teacher of the Year and Support Staff of the Year for the 2025-2026 school year! A big congratulations to Ms. Emily Gerdes on being named Concrete's Teacher of the Year and to Mrs. Jodi McWhite on being named our Support Staff of the Year.
