❤️A Little Box. A Powerful Reminder. You Are Not Alone. ❤️
Our Early Childhood Education students have been busy preparing Anchor Boxes that will soon be placed in classrooms throughout our school.
Each box is filled with encouraging messages, grounding and coping tools, and reminders that even on the hardest days, there is always something, and someone to hold on to.
Students who are struggling can use an Anchor Box when they need a moment to regroup, find encouragement, and connect with support. They can also leave a message behind for the next student who may need it.
One student helping another.
One message saying, “Keep going.”
One reminder that you matter, you are valued, and you belong here.
If you would like to help write messages to our students struggling, please contact Mrs. Townsend, mollytownsend@gcbe.org.
We are so proud of our students for helping create a culture where it’s okay to struggle, okay to ask for help, and important to look out for one another.

Sonoraville High School students in Mr. Schuster’s U.S. History class were engaged in a lesson about George Washington, our first President of the United States.
Students shared thoughtful responses about Washington running unopposed, not being affiliated with a political party, and helping create important precedents for future presidents. Through the discussion, students explored how Washington’s leadership helped shape the role of the presidency and the early direction of our nation.
It was a great day of learning, discussion, and historical thinking at SHS.

Sonoraville High School construction students work hard in Mr. Dooley’s classroom!
Students were sanding and painting classroom tables to make improvements while also preparing for their upcoming mock SkillsUSA competition. These activities give students the chance to practice craftsmanship, problem-solving, attention to detail, and the hands on skills needed to succeed in the construction pathway.
Mr. Dooley is well known throughout Gordon County Schools for teaching and coaching numerous SkillsUSA state champions, and that tradition of excellence continues to set a strong standard for his students. We are excited to see how these Phoenix students continue to grow, compete, and succeed this year!
