🏃‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️🐝 Hornet Pride on the Move! 🐝🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏾‍♀️

A group of Deep Creek Central Elementary teachers recently crossed the finish line together for our 2nd Annual 5K!

As the school year comes to a close, this was a great reminder that taking care of ourselves helps us show up as our best for our students, our families, and each other. From the first day of school to the last, teaching is a marathon—not a sprint—and we're proud to be finishing this year strong together.

Here's to healthy habits, strong friendships, and making it to the finish line!💜

Making our way through the ABC countdown. For letter Q, first grade did Q-tip painting! Students made art pieces using q-tips instead of paint brushes.

They made a mess, I mean masterpiece😅 and had fun doing it!!

🏈 Chesapeake Public Schools football star heads back to the classroom… but this time, the script flipped.

After playing football for ODU and NSU and earning his Master’s Degree in Cybersecurity, Malcolm Britt stepped in as Mrs. Walters’ Mystery MVP substitute for our Letter “M” Day during the ABC Countdown!

From agility drills, media day style interview and writing activities, and mini combines to teamwork, encouragement, and nonstop smiles — our students had the BEST day learning from a hometown role model who proves you can chase big dreams both on and off the field.

Our kindergarteners had the best time at Hunt Club Farm on their Animal Adventure Tour! 🐐🐄🐓

This trip connected perfectly with our Living Things unit as students observed animals up close, learned about their needs, and noticed how they move, eat, and interact with their environment. They also made connections to fast and slow changes by seeing how animals grow, change, and depend on their surroundings.

The students fed llamas, alpacas, cows, goats, and birds, held chickens, and pet lots of animals. It was a fun, hands-on learning experience filled with smiles, excitement, and real-world science connections! 🦙🐥✨

Time flies when you’re learning! ⏰

Our first graders became a human clock today, using their bodies to tell time in such a fun and hands-on way!
Huge shoutout to Mrs. Ward for rocking this lesson and keeping the learning going strong with Ms. Williams’ class today. We love teamwork, creativity, and smiling students! 💜📚🐝

✨ Today Mrs. Walters’ 2nd grade class was inspired by a very special guest reader, Skylyn Proffitt!

A proud graduate of Chesapeake Public Schools and Hickory High School, Skylyn is now attending Virginia Tech and preparing to compete for the title of Miss Virginia this June! 👑

She visited our 2nd graders to introduce the amazing Global Game Changers program and share her Community Service Initiative, P.O.P. — The Power of Positivity. Through her message of kindness, encouragement, confidence, and standing up for others, our students learned how even the smallest positive actions can make a BIG difference. 💜✨

The smiles, hugs, conversations, and thoughtful notes from our students said it all — today was truly a memorable experience! Thank you, Skylyn, for inspiring our students to dream big, lead with kindness, and spread positivity wherever they go. 🌟

Cue the tears…

Our 2nd graders made the sweetest memories this week watching these chicks hatch, grow, cuddle, and chirp their way into our hearts. Today we send 56 baby chicks to the farm with full hearts.

Some lessons come from books… and some come from tiny fluffy chicks. 🐣💛
We loved every second of this unforgettable experience.
