Before tonight's big game, some of Discovery's classrooms had a message for the Jefferson High School Cavaliers Football team: https://youtu.be/T8rbPDUPll8! #GoCavsGo #LetsGoCavs #JeffersonHighSchool #Homecoming
Check out Matthew’s cozy sweatshirt that has a wonderful message! Mrs. DeHaven, Assistant Principal, asked Matthew what his goal for today was and he replied, “Focus on learning.” That’s a great goal, Matthew; and we are confident you will achieve it!
Front circle drive reminders! We appreciate your cooperation with this.
- If you are dropping off or picking up your child in the front circle drive, you cannot park your vehicle and leave it there. At dismissal, you can stay in your vehicle and wait for your student(s) to come to you – but you cannot park and leave the vehicle.
- If you are going to get out of your vehicle, you must park in the parking lot or on the street.
- You cannot wait in your vehicle in the left lane of the front circle drive. The left lane is strictly for moving vehicles.
- Pull all the way up to the vehicle in front of you so we can prevent a back-up of traffic on Discovery Ave.
- Children should exit the car on the passenger side of the vehicle to avoid vehicles driving through the left lane.
- Do not stop midway through the circle drive to drop off your student - this becomes a safety hazard.
Dr. Seuss' Cat in the Hat visited classroom 104 to talk about germs and staying healthy because “we do not like germs here or there - we do not like germs anywhere!”
On “Discovery Way Wednesday,” classroom 101 celebrated a great month of following “The Explorer Way” with "Art in the Classroom"! Students used construction paper, popsicle sticks, and their art supplies to create amazing art pieces. Way to go, classroom 101!

When you get a break in the day to see your friend from another grade level – priceless.
"A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself." - Jim Morrison
Classroom K01 worked together to color this poster as they learned about the “Discovery Way: Take care of yourself. Take care of others. Take care of this place.” Great job coloring, K01!
Great minds think alike - especially in classroom 106 when you and your classmate show up twinning!
Every Discovery student took part in making this “quilt,” which is a mashup of the Discovery Way and the art of James Goldcrown.
James Goldcrown is a street artist that paints hearts as a message to spread kindness. His artwork is known for bright, cheerful hearts against a solid background. Goldcrown’s art is some of the most photographed art in the world! People are drawn to it because of the message it sends.
Students made connections between Goldcrown’s message of kindness and our own Discovery Way: taking care of ourselves, taking care of each other, and taking care of this place. Each student created their own mini masterpiece, which included some type of heart or kindness message. When combined together, the quilt was the result.
Beautiful quilt, Discovery!
Yesterday, classroom K04 worked on writing and reviewing their numbers with shaving cream! What a fun way to learn!
