Dixie High School football players and cheerleaders spent some time reading to our K–5 students on Halloween! Our elementary students loved having these high school role models visit their classrooms and share the joy of reading. Thank you to our Dixie High School athletes and cheerleaders for inspiring our young learners and spreading school spirit!
Accelerated Reader (AR) gives our students the chance to choose books at their own reading level and then take a short quiz to check their understanding. We are so proud of all the students who met their AR goal for the first nine weeks!
To celebrate, our 2nd–4th-grade students enjoyed a fun afternoon of bingo and a popcorn bar with Mrs. Crawford, while our 5th–6th-grade students were treated to pizza, a popcorn bar, and an exciting Mario Kart tournament in Dr. Newton’s office!

Karaoke Context!
Mrs. Biggerstaff’s 2nd grade class had a blast using a karaoke machine to practice high-frequency words in context. Students created sentences using the word displayed, then spoke into the microphone to hear their sentences repeated in a variety of silly voices! It was a fun way to build sentence structure—with plenty of giggles along the way. Learning has never sounded so fun!
