Hilliard Elementary Students and Staff are "On Fire for Education" this 2021-2022 school year! Their passion is ignited through the love and excitement exuding in every classroom. This year is going to be lit!

Teachers at Yulee Primary School participated in an Amazing Race in which they had to earn the combination to their suitcase of prizes doing such things as posing in the Hornets Nest as if a real hornet was in there!

Students in Mrs. Edward's class at West Nassau High School participated in a “quick write“ as a class-building activity. Each student received three random writing prompts on one sheet of paper (some were imaginative, some serious). Students chose one prompt for the first quick write, responded with elaboration, then signed their name under their response. Then, the students crumpled their paper, divided into two groups, stood along opposing walls, and had a “snowball fight.” The opposing teams picked up a different crumpled paper, opened it, chose a second writing prompt, and responded with a quick write answer/elaboration. After the third and final quick write and snowball fight, every student read aloud the three answers- from three different peers- on their last “snowball.” It was a light-hearted activity that really helped “break the ice,” develop some trust among students, and I used the activity to take attendance.

This month Hilliard Elementary Students were recognized on the "Wall of Flame" for being good citizens! Throughout each month of the year, students will focus on a specific character trait, and one student from each class will be honored for standing out as an example to their classmates by being displayed on our Wall of Flame!
