Edgemont’s elementary schools kicked off Thanksgiving break with their annual Turkey Trots, untimed community runs that get every student moving while building school spirit. At Greenville, grade levels took turns running one to three laps as classmates cheered and showed off gratitude-themed decorated bibs. At Seely Place, students spent about 20 minutes running, walking, or jogging to holiday music, wearing handmade hats, carrying class posters, and joining a friendly spirit competition alongside local police and firefighters. In both schools, the event also connected to STEAM learning and led into student-created balloon float parades that celebrated creativity, collaboration, and community.

Greenville Elementary’s first graders completed a hands-on Science 21 moon study in which they modeled and observed lunar phases, kept moon journals, compared their findings with NASA reports, and created moon-themed art and stories to celebrate their learning.

The Edgemont Elementary PTA held the first ever Panthers’ Pay-it-Forward last week, uniting sixth graders from Greenville and Seely Place Elementary Schools to meet and mingle while packing meals for those in need.
