Students grow so quickly—sometimes they outgrow a coat before they even have a chance to wear it! If you have any new or gently used coats, please consider donating them to our Winter Coat Drive. Your donation can help keep another student warm this season. 🧣💜

¡Los estudiantes crecen tan rápido! A veces dejan de usar un abrigo antes de tener la oportunidad de estrenarlo. Si tiene abrigos nuevos o en buen estado, considere donarlos a nuestra Colecta de Abrigos de Invierno. Su donación puede ayudar a mantener a otro estudiante abrigado esta temporada. 🧣💜

These amazing students (and more) at Roy Johnson STEM Academy cashed in their Paws Passes for some delicious Arby's! 🍗

We are so proud of these students for consistently showing P – Pride, A – Accountability, W – Wise choices, and being Safe throughout our school community. Keep up the great work, Bulldogs! 💛
