Students in Ms. Burkett's ELA classes engaged in a pre-reading activity today for the short story "Examination Day." To complement their social studies lessons, we are reinforcing the concepts of communism, capitalism, and socialism, exploring how these systems have shaped societies throughout history. This will be further supported by reading a combination of literary and informational texts.

Middle school scientists in action! 🧪 Students are mastering the use of graduated cylinders to measure liquid volumes with precision.
How do you feel when you get a compliment/encouragement from a stranger? Pretty good? It's a good feeling when someone notices something about you. But what about when someone you really care about compliments/encourages you? That's a great feeling, and it's what our kids feel when we use words to point out how special they are. A child who feels valued and accepted by his or her family can change the world. So don't underestimate the importance of keeping a list of compliments/words of encouragement for kids on hand.
If you struggle to be creative with your words, here is a list to try.

Mr. Brantley's class hosted Parents to Lunch last week.
On Sunday afternoon, the Toombs County School System was notified by several concerned individuals about a threatening social media post circulating in our community. We immediately contacted our local law enforcement partners to investigate the matter. After conducting interviews with the individuals involved, it was determined that the post did not originate from or specifically mention Toombs County or the Toombs County School System. However, similar threats have been shared across multiple communities in the region.
This alarming trend is affecting many areas, especially in light of the recent tragic events at Apalachee High School in Barrow County. Our thoughts and prayers remain with that community. School Districts across the state are facing these widespread online threats, which, while not always originating locally, are being shared extensively and causing concern.
Please rest assured that we take ALL threats seriously and act with urgency. We are grateful for the strong partnerships we have with both the Lyons Police Department and the Toombs County Sheriff’s Office. These agencies are ready to support us at a moment’s notice to investigate any potential threats or suspicious behavior.
As a precaution, we have requested that our law enforcement partners continue their presence on our campuses to provide an additional layer of security. We sincerely thank the concerned citizens who brought this post to our attention, as well as the Lyons Police Department and the Toombs County Sheriff’s Department for their continued vigilance and support.
Around 5:45 this morning the Toombs County School System was made aware of a disturbing social media post that insinuated “shooting”. The post did not mention any of our schools. However, we felt it was necessary to notify law enforcement of the post, and both Lyons Police Department and the Toombs County Sheriff’s Office quickly responded to the post and contained the issue before school started. As a layer of extra support and security, we have additional officers at each school. Rest assured that the safety and security of all of our students and staff is paramount in what we do each day. Thanks to both the Lyons Police Department and Toombs County Sheriff’s Department for working together with us to address this matter swiftly. We are continuing to operate as normal but will continue to have additional law enforcement on each of our campuses.
