Today, I cashed in my hard-earned 250 ClassDojo points to be Miss Hancock (Third-Grade Teacher) for the day! I earned points by consistently completing homework and classwork, tackling the daily challenge questions, showing good behavior, and always leading by example. It took a lot of dedication and effort, but it's a great feeling to see all that hard work pay off!

Today, we celebrate the incredible administrative professionals who are the first point of contact, the problem-solvers, and the organizational wizards of our schools. Your contributions are invaluable! Thank you! #TCUSD3

🚀 Our 5th graders had a BLAST at UIS with Doktor Kaboom! 🔬⚡ Equal parts science, comedy, and personal empowerment, this interactive show had students laughing, learning, and thinking about real-life mental and emotional pressures in a whole new way! 🧠💡
From wild experiments to important life lessons, it was an unforgettable experience! Thank you, UIS Performing Arts Center, for bringing the magic of science to life!
