Mrs. Smith’s students recently read *Momma Made Cookies* by local Johnson City author C.L. Kilgore. After reading the story, students baked their own cookies and delivered them throughout the building along with handwritten notes of encouragement for our teachers and staff.

What a sweet way to spread kindness while making connections between reading and real-life experiences. We are proud of these students for using their learning to brighten someone else’s day!

Field Day ‘26 is a wrap! The sun was shining, and it’s safe to say a great time was had by all. ☀️

Thank you to all of our parent volunteers and Science Hill High School student volunteers - we couldn’t have done it without your help. A special thank you to Coach Richards for planning such a fun day for everyone!

At our most recent faculty meeting, some of our teachers had the opportunity to showcase the learning and growth that has taken place throughout this school year. Our teachers have dedicated themselves to learning and implementing high-yield instructional strategies that strengthen student learning and engagement. From activators at the beginning of lessons to meaningful collaboration throughout instruction, these strategies are making a difference in classrooms across our school and helping drive student achievement forward.

South Side teachers rock!

As a former participant in the TVA EnergyRight School Uplift program, our school received energy-saving kits for every Pre-K through 5th grade student, as well as all faculty and staff at South Side. These kits support ongoing efforts to promote energy awareness both at home and within the community.

Each kit contains practical, easy-to-use items—such as LED nightlights, door sweeps, advanced power strips, and water conservation devices—designed to help families reduce energy use and lower utility costs.

Thank you TVA EnergyRight!
