Remember to Dress Your Best tomorrow for our Peter and the Wolf Performance!
PAWS' Pumpkin Patch is coming along!!! PAWS' spies pigeon!!!
Last week, Mrs. Jimenez's kindergarten class learned about the life cycle of a pumpkin and estimated how many seeds were inside.
They counted how many seeds were inside by gluing them down on ten frames. They then skip counted by 10's to find out how many seeds we had!
Mrs. Gonzalez's class enjoyed a fall trip the North Georgia Fair today!
Mrs. Roper and Ms. Velasquez's kindergarten classes enjoyed reading the book Spookley the Square Pumpkin! They followed up their reading with a hands-on activity!
Today our students came together to stand for kindness, acceptance, and inclusion. Seeing these smiling faces side-by-side reminds us that when we support one another, we all shine a little brighter.
This is what Unity Day is all about — lifting each other up, celebrating our differences, and showing that every student belongs.
Our character trait of the month is Kindness, and we have been encouraging students to “fill each other’s buckets” with acts of kindness.
Today, ten names were drawn from our Kindness bucket, and these students were given a token to use at our book vending machine.
We are so proud of these bucekt fillers!

Dance & Tumbling at City Park!
We are so lucky to offer a Dance and Tumbling class for our students in grades K–5 — something you won’t find at any other elementary school in the district! This special class gives students an extra opportunity, in addition to PE, to move, stretch, and build confidence while having fun.
To help everyone participate safely, please make sure your child wears closed-toe shoes, ideally tennis shoes. Shoes with heels are not allowed, as they can damage our equipment. We also encourage athletic or comfortable play clothes—leggings, shorts, or t-shirts work great!
While no child will ever be left out because of their clothing, proper attire helps students move more freely and comfortably during class. Thank you for helping us keep this unique program safe and enjoyable for all!

🧡 Our student council representatives have been busy spreading kindness! They made handmade beaded bracelets to share in honor of Unity Day, reminding everyone that “No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.” 💛
Tomorrow, we’ll celebrate Unity Day by wearing orange to show that kindness, acceptance, and inclusion bring us together as one community. Let’s all stand united against bullying and for kindness! 🧡
Our youngest students had a special treat today—a fun and energetic juggling performance provided courtesy of the O.N. Jonas Foundation! The engaging show entertained and inspired our Kindergarten through 2nd-grade students while introducing them to the art of juggling and performance.
The O.N. Jonas Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to enriching the lives of children through educational and cultural experiences. Their mission is to provide opportunities that spark curiosity, creativity, and a love of learning outside the classroom.
We are grateful to the O.N. Jonas Foundation for bringing this exciting experience to our K-2 students! Grades 3-5 will enjoy a similar experience at a later date in the year!

Our student council participated in a retreat today where they learned the proper care of the American flag from Officers Johnson and Ruiz. They also met with members of the Dalton High School Student Council. They engaged in some ice breaker activities and gained insight about what it means to be a student leader. The high school students collaborated with our Panther representatives to create posters to support and advertise for our upcoming Unity Day. They ended the day in the Helping Hands End Hunger program sorting and counting yams and ears of corn just in time for the PAWtumn cooking! It was a great experience, and we appreciate all who partnered with us today to make this experience happen for these student leaders!
Kindergarten enjoyed a walking field trip today to the fire station. Mrs. Pichardo was pleasantly surprised to see a former CP Panther who now serves our community at the fire station! PAWS is proud to partner with our community heroes!! Check out our Facebook Album for more pictures!
Second Graders in Mrs. Kitchen’s class used homemade rulers to measure gummy worms and how far they can stretch!
