What an exciting Friday here at Hermitage Elementary! 🎉

We started the day by celebrating our Students of the Month, recognizing students who have demonstrated the character trait of resilience. We are so proud of these students for showing perseverance, determination, and the ability to bounce back from challenges with a positive attitude!

Later, we had the honor of welcoming the Cox High School Class of 2026 seniors back to our halls. Our students lined the hallways to cheer them on during a special senior walk and send-off. It was a wonderful opportunity for our younger Vikings to see what hard work and dedication can achieve, while celebrating the accomplishments of these graduating seniors.

From honoring resilience to celebrating future graduates, it was a day filled with pride, inspiration, and school spirit. 💙💛

April was a whirlwind of excitement at Hermitage Elementary!

We had a special visit from the fire department, where students learned important fire safety tips and had the chance to explore the fire truck up close. 🚒

Our school was full of spirit during Red, White, and Blue Day, and we proudly wore purple for Purple Up Day to honor and support our military-connected students. 💜

We wrapped up the month with an incredible Field Day—full of energy, teamwork, and smiles! A huge thank you to our 80+ amazing volunteers who made the day such a success. We couldn’t have done it without you!

Our Girls Who Code club has been hard at work exploring the world of computer science through engaging, hands-on stations! 💻✨

Students rotated through Coding Puzzles with DASH, challenged themselves with Unplugged Debugging activities, and even cracked secret messages while exploring Caesar Ciphers from Code It! Create It! 🔐

It’s amazing to see our students thinking critically, collaborating, and building confidence as young coders. The future is bright with these Viking Coders leading the way! 🌊
