We hope that everyone is enjoying their summer break! We are busy preparing for next school year. We have already had some folks asking about Open House so we wanted to go ahead and share the dates!

🎨✨ 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! 🖌️💛

🎶 Today, the Lee County Elementary Chorus filled the air with music and unity as they performed “Fifty Nifty United States,” “United We Stand,” and “Thankful for the USA.” 🇺🇸🎤
The power of the arts was on full display—reminding us that music brings people together. No matter our differences, the arts connect us, inspire us, and create a sense of community and pride.
💛🎵 The arts unite us. The arts inspire us. The arts bring us together. 🎵💛

We hope to see you all there!
Today, we celebrate all of our amazing Eagle moms, grandmothers, bonus moms, and every special person who fills the role of mother in a child’s life.
Your love, support, and encouragement help our students soar every day. Thank you for all you do — in big ways and small — to shape the hearts and minds of our Eagles.
We are wild about you and grateful for the impact you make!

📣 EOG Testing Reminder for Grades 3–5! 📝
This week is a big one for our 3rd–5th grade students—they’ll be taking their End-of-Grade (EOG) tests!
Monday ELA
Tuesday Science for 5th grade only
Wendsay Math
Please help set your child up for success by doing the following:
✅ Make sure they get a good night's sleep
✅ Send them to school on time and with breakfast or encourage them to eat breakfast at school
✅ Remind them to try their best, work hard, and read carefully
✅ For math, encourage them to show their work
✅ If they finish early, they should review their answers
✅ No electronic devices (execpt for school provided computers and calculators) are allowed in the testing sessions
💡 Testing alongside their peers—just like they've practiced all year—helps students feel more confident and perform better.
We believe in our students and know they’re going to do great! 💪📚

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!
Parents,
We have sold out of yearbooks but have had several inquire about them. If we can get at least 25 parents to order a yearbook we can place another order with Strawbridge. If you would like to purchase a yearbook please email Mrs. Brown at michellebrown@lee.k12.nc.us.
🦅🎨 Our talented 5th graders have been hard at work sculpting their own clay gargoyles! These imaginative creations combine art, history, and creativity—and they’re as unique as the students who made them. Great job, artists! 👏🗿 #JRI5thGrade #WildAboutLearning #StudentCreativity #EagleArtists
