What happens when our 5th graders team up with artist-in-residence Mr. Kent Smith? Pure magic. ✨
Students have been hard at work designing, sculpting, and painting their very own paper-mâché turkeys—and today, they proudly shared their finished masterpieces with special staff members across Harper Elementary. The smiles said it all! 🧡
As we get ready to celebrate the Wildlife Arts Festival, we’re reminded that even our youngest artists shine bright. These festive turkey creations are the perfect way to kick off the season with creativity, gratitude, and a whole lot of Harper pride.
🦃🎨 Thankful for our students, our teachers, and the arts that bring us all together.

Last week, our students had an incredible opportunity as GBI visited our campus for a hands-on learning experience. The GBI Bomb Truck was stationed in front of Scholar’s Academy, and several interactive stations were set up in the courtyard.
Students explored potential GBI career pathways, learned about high school Biology and Forensics connections, and dove into the science behind DNA, which directly ties into our 7th-grade standards.
Experiences like this bring learning to life and help spark our students’ future goals and interests! 🔍✨

Mrs. Knop’s Peer Leadership class played a part in this year’s Thomasville City Schools canned food drive! Her students worked hard sorting and organizing thousands of canned goods—making sure every item was ready for packing and distribution. Their teamwork, leadership, and heart helped make the process smooth, efficient, and meaningful.
Throughout the day, other students and staff stopped by to lend a hand—another reminder of what makes our TCS family so special. Together, we packed 112 boxes that will soon be distributed to TCS families and local organizations to support community members in need this holiday season.
In this thankful and grateful season, we’re proud of our Bulldogs for showing what service, compassion, and teamwork truly look like. ❤️🐾
