At Robertsville Elementary, Mrs. Chickering’s 2nd grade class enjoyed a special literacy experience with author Peter H. Reynolds as he read “Say Something.”
Students explored the power of their voices by creating statues and using paintbrushes to express their ideas in creative ways.
To bring the message home, each student made their own megaphone as a reminder that they can use their voice to “say something.” 📣

Spreading Kindness in Our Community! 💛 As part of a recent tribe activity at Robertsville Elementary, each student was assigned a special person to write a note of gratitude and encouragement. These heartfelt messages, filled with kind words and appreciation, were then delivered to various departments throughout our community — along with some fresh cookies to share!
Our students had a wonderful time presenting these sweet surprises to our town’s everyday heroes, including Firefighters, EMTs, MVR-III Central Office Staff & Maintenance teams, USPS workers, Dollar General employees, PTO members, Franklin County police department, and Nursing Home. It was so much fun to create these notes and spread a little kindness throughout our community. We're proud of our students for taking the time to lift others up and show appreciation. 💌🍪 #KindnessMatters #StudentLeaders #MVNation

Robertsville Elementary students had to persevere and work together in front of the whole school to find their own balloon. This activity became a powerful symbol of our community core values. The balloons represented HAPPINESS, and students learned it's much harder to find if everyone is only looking out for themselves. If we care for other people's happiness, we'll find ours, too! #MVNation
