🖤💛 Happy School Custodian Appreciation Day! 💛🖤

Today, Evans County Schools proudly recognizes the dedicated custodians who work each day to keep our schools clean, safe, and welcoming for our students, staff, families, and visitors.

Our custodians do so much more than keep our buildings clean. They help create an environment where students can learn, teachers can teach, and everyone can take pride in their school. Whether they are preparing classrooms and common areas, responding to unexpected needs, or simply making sure our facilities are ready for each school day, their work is an important part of everything we do.

We appreciate their hard work, dependability, and commitment to our schools. They make a BIG difference in the lives of our students and staff every single day!

Please join us in saying THANK YOU to our Evans County Schools custodial team for all they do! 🐾🖤💛

📏🐯 Measurement is getting REAL in 2nd grade! 🐯📏

Our second graders have been having a blast learning all about measurement! They’ve made their own rulers and put them to the test by measuring EVERYTHING from gummy worms—stretched and unstretched—to people! 😂📐

We were also lucky to have a very special guest reader, Mr. Paul Phillips, aka “Tall Paul,” join us to read How Big Is a Foot? 📚 He was the perfect person to help us put our measuring skills to work!

After measuring Tall Paul, students measured themselves and then used their measurements to try to design and build a bed that would actually fit them! 🛏️📏

What a fun way to turn math into a hands-on learning experience! Way to go, 2nd grade! 💛🖤
