🎨✨ Our students truly shined at the Festival of the Arts! ✨🎨 From bold brushstrokes to creative designs, their artwork was a beautiful reflection of their talent, imagination, and hard work. It was inspiring to see their creativity on full display during the art show — each piece telling a story and showing just how gifted our Eagles are. The arts remind us that every child has a voice—and sometimes, that voice speaks through color, texture, and design. We are so proud of our young artists! 🖌️💛 #FestivalOfTheArts #YoungArtists #EagleExcellence #CreativityShines #TheArtsBringUsTogether

May 23 is our last day of school. We will dismiss at 12 Noon.

A Legacy of Literacy It’s hard to put into words the impact Mrs. Pamela Ard has made at J.R. Ingram. From classrooms to small groups, her love for teaching reading has opened doors for countless children. Her kindness, wisdom, and warmth have also made her a beloved colleague and mentor. As she retires, we send her off with all our love and gratitude. Thank you, Mrs. Ard, for sharing your gift with us.

Today, some third-grade students had the opportunity to participate in a virtual cultural exchange with children from the Soacha Sucre School in Bogota, Colombia. The students used some words, expressions, and ideas they had been learning in Spanish class, and the children from the other school also attempted to communicate in English, which made the experience fun for the children and teachers from both countries.

We have placed a second order for yearbooks! If you would like one please send in cash (exact change) or a check made out to STRAWBRIDGE and turn it in to the front office.

We are bananas 🍌 over our staff! Today we celebrated our staff with banana splits! Thank you to our continued partners Life Springs Church for serving and providing our banana splits!
