Today we are celebrating the incredible voices behind the voices at Strayhorn Elementary! It is Speech Pathologist Appreciation Day, and we want to share our deepest gratitude for the amazing Mrs. Emily, Mrs. Rachel, and Mrs. Suzanne. These three dedicated professionals work tirelessly to give our students the tools they need to communicate, connect, and express themselves with confidence. From mastering tricky sounds to building vital language skills, their patience and expertise unlock so many doors for our children’s futures. We are so fortunate to have such a talented team helping our Mustangs find their voices and succeed both in and out of the classroom. Please join us in thanking Mrs. Emily, Mrs. Rachel, and Mrs. Suzanne for the life-changing work they do every single day!

πŸƒ Adventure Awaits in Kindergarten! πŸƒ
Mrs. Haley’s class traded the classroom for the great outdoors today for an exciting nature walk! Our tiniest explorers put on their "observation hats" to discover the wonders of the world around them.

From spotting tiny insects to collecting interesting leaves and listening to the birds, it was a morning filled with curiosity and fresh air. There is so much to learn when the earth becomes your classroom! Watching these students connect with nature and practice their science skills in the wild was the absolute highlight of our day.

Great job, little trailblazers! Keep exploring and asking big questions. πŸ¦‹πŸŒΌπŸ’

πŸŽ‰ Huge Congratulations to Baylee! πŸŽ‰
We are beyond proud to announce that our very own 6th grader, Baylee Brister, has officially won the Rotary Essay Contest! πŸ†βœοΈ
Baylee’s hard work, creativity, and thoughtful perspective truly shone through, capturing the hearts and minds of the judges.

Today we are celebrating the woman who keeps our school healthy, safe, and smilingβ€”the wonderful Nurse Kim Smith! It is School Nurse’s Day, and we couldn't let the moment pass without honoring the incredible care Kim provides to the Strayhorn Elementary family. Whether she’s calming a nervous student, tending to a scraped knee, or managing the daily wellness of our entire campus, Nurse Kim does it all with unmatched compassion and a steady hand. She is our resident expert, a shoulder to lean on, and a true hero in a lab coat who ensures our students are healthy enough to do their very best in the classroom. We are so lucky to have her expertise and her kind heart watching over us every day. Please join us in showering Nurse Kim with appreciation for everything she does to keep our Mustangs safe and sound!
