4th Grade Takes on the Challenge of iReady
Mrs. Odom’s third grade reading group read about the history of Punkin Chunkin, as well as the structures of slingshots, catapults, and trebuchets. Students were then challenged to create one of the structures with stem related materials to see how far they could launch a candy pumpkin.
In media, students visited Café Read A Latte to do a book tasting with all the new books!
Today we honored our Veterans with a special assembly!

This morning, Grays Chapel Elementary held a 9/11 remembrance ceremony to mark 23 years since that tragic day in US history. Pictures tell this morning's story as students placed American flags in "Sandy's Garden" before the ceremony began. Principal Lori Johnson and several Grays Chapel students spoke to the crowd about the events of 9/11/01 and what Freedom means. The students sang Patriotic songs and we all participated in the Pledge of Allegiance.
Sandy Waugh Bradshaw attended Grays Chapel from K-8th grade and graduated from Eastern Randolph High School.
May we never forget the sacrifice Sandy and others made on that day in history!
