This week marked the end of the 3-digit addition unit for 2nd Grade. Students practiced their skills through a fun activity, Capture the Candy Cane, which challenged teams to solve problems and win candy canes from others. Everyone enjoyed a candy cane treat afterward! 🎄

🎓 Senior Spotlight: Gavin Luke Roberts 🎓 Gavin is the son of Todd Roberts and Stormie Reeves, and has two brothers, Kagan Roberts and Zackery Reeves. When he’s not busy with school, Gavin enjoys riding dirt bikes and doing it fast—just like Ricky Bobby! When asked about his favorite high school memory, Gavin playfully responded, “I plead the fifth.” However, he clearly appreciates his favorite teacher, Mrs. West, who makes learning fun. What he will miss most about school is simply hanging out with his friends. When it comes to entertainment, he’s a big fan of The Dukes of Hazzard. His favorite meal is anything from Hibachi-Japanese Steakhouse. Looking ahead, Gavin plans to work on a riverboat after graduation. His main goal this senior year is straightforward: he just wants to graduate. When asked how he’d like to be remembered, Gavin hopes to be known as “the smart kid.” Not many know much about Gavin, since he likes to keep some things a mystery. The biggest influence in his life is none other than Snoop Dogg, admired for his cooking, rapping, and style. His farewell advice to underclassmen is simple and bold: “Get in trouble while you’re still young.” The last book Gavin read was Of Mice & Men and yes, it was only because his class was assigned it, and the next place on his travel bucket list is Las Vegas. If he could eat one meal every day for the rest of his life, it would be BBQ ribs. Gavin, congratulations on your achievements so far! We’re excited to see where your journey takes you next.

🎓 Senior Spotlight: Lexi Lynn Lindsey 🎓

Lexi Lynn Lindsey, daughter of Scott and Mika Lindsey, is a vibrant and accomplished member of the senior class, known for her positive spirit, dedication, and active involvement in both academics and extracurricular. Throughout high school, Lexi has been a standout in volleyball, while also participating in Beta Club and FBLA, striking a balance between leadership and teamwork both on and off the court.

When she’s not in class or competing, Lexi enjoys shopping, reading, spending time with family, golfing with Isaac, watching movies with Gavin, and of course, playing volleyball. Her favorite subject is English, and she's a self-declared fan of Gossip Girl. When it comes to food, one thing’s for sure — ice cream tops the list as her favorite meal (yes, meal!).

One of Lexi’s most unforgettable high school moments was winning the state championship with her volleyball team — a memory filled with pride, joy, and the kind of team spirit that leaves a lasting mark. What she’ll miss most after graduation? Playing alongside teammates Sophie, Sadie, Lauren, and Bristol, who turned every practice and game into moments of fun and friendship.

She names Mrs. Dixon as her favorite teacher, praising her as “an amazing educator who consistently goes out of her way to help others.” The biggest influence in Lexi’s life? Her mom. “She has always been my biggest supporter and she’s such a genuinely good person.”

Lexi’s advice for underclassmen:

“Take high school and your classes seriously — but not too seriously. Make as many friends as you can and, most importantly, have fun.”

As she reflects on her journey, Lexi hopes others will remember her as an honest person, a loyal teammate, and a good friend. And while she may keep a busy schedule and a competitive edge, she adds with a smile, “I’m actually really nice — even when I’m a little cranky.”

Looking to the future, Lexi dreams of traveling to New York City at Christmastime, soaking in the magic and excitement of the season.

Congratulations, Lexi! Your school community is proud of you and can’t wait to see the amazing things you’ll do next.
