π Big congratulations to Cloey Fletcher, Logan Green, and Andiana Ziegler for earning 1st place at the state level in the American Spirit Competition and representing our school at the SkillsUSA National Leadership and Skills Conference in Atlanta, Georgia, this past June 23β27!β¨
Their outstanding project showcased our chapterβs dedication to citizenship, community service, and patriotism. Mr. Johannes attended the event with the students and shared that this trip was full of exciting firsts:
βοΈ Cloey flew on an airplane for the first time
π₯’ Andiana used chopsticks for the first time
π All three students experienced Atlantaβs heat and humidityβand quickly learned theyβre not fans!
What an incredible journey and experience! We are so proud of these students for making it to the national stage and representing us so well. πππ

π Celebrating Our Amazing Mary M. Knight OWLS! π¦
What an incredible way to wrap up another fantastic school year! Our June End-of-Month Assembly was filled with smiles, cheers, and well-deserved recognition for our outstanding students.
We are so proud to celebrate our grade level award winners who have shown exceptional growth and dedication throughout the year. From kindergarten through sixth grade, these students have truly embodied what it means to be a Mary M. Knight OWL!
A special congratulations goes out to our K-6 OWL Award recipients - students who have demonstrated Outstanding character, Wisdom in their choices, and Leadership in our school community. These young leaders inspire us all with their positive attitudes and commitment to making our school a better place.
We're also thrilled to recognize our i-Ready award winners who have worked so hard in both math and reading! Their dedication to learning and growth has been remarkable to witness. These students have truly shown what persistence and effort can accomplish.
And let's not forget our music and PE award winners! Whether they've been hitting the right notes or staying active and healthy, these students have shown excellence in all areas of their education.
To all our award recipients: you make us incredibly proud! Your hard work in academics, citizenship, and attendance doesn't go unnoticed. You are shining examples of the Mary M. Knight spirit.
As we head into summer break, we can't wait to see all the amazing things our OWLS will accomplish when we return next year. Rest up, have fun, and get ready for another year of learning and growing together!

What an Amazing Way to End the Year! ππ¦
What a fantastic finish to another incredible year at Mary M. Knight! Our school community came together this week to celebrate two of our most beloved traditions - and the energy in our gymnasium was absolutely electric!
Staff vs. Students Basketball Showdown π
The annual Staff vs. Students basketball game lived up to all the hype once again! Our entire school packed the gym to cheer on their favorite players as teachers and students battled it out for those all-important bragging rights. The competition was fierce, the crowd was loud, and the smiles were endless. And once again, our talented staff team claimed victory and those coveted bragging rights for another year! While our students put up an incredible fight, the staff managed to hold onto their winning streak. Whether you were Team Staff or Team Students, everyone walked away winners as we celebrated the amazing relationships and school spirit that make Mary M. Knight so special.
Secondary OWL Olympics Champions! π₯
We're also thrilled to announce the champions of this year's Secondary OWL Olympics! After a full day of competitive events and team challenges, our winning team has earned the coveted trophy that will proudly display in their classroom for the entire next school year. The dedication, teamwork, and Owl pride shown by all our secondary students throughout the Olympics was truly inspiring to witness.
These traditions remind us why we love being part of the Mary M. Knight family. Watching our students and staff come together, compete with good sportsmanship, and celebrate each other's achievements is what school community is all about.
Thank You & Have a Great Summer! βοΈ
To our amazing students, dedicated staff, and supportive families - thank you for making this another unforgettable year. The memories we've created together, from these final celebrations to all the learning and growth throughout the year, are what make Mary M. Knight truly special.
GO OWLS! π¦ Have a wonderful, safe, and restful summer. We can't wait to see everyone back in the fall ready for another amazing year!
