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
