38 Days, 38 Schools: Elon Elementary truly stands out as a Global School. Upon entering the campus, one is immediately immersed in a rich tapestry of cultures. With a faculty comprised of educators from around the world, the school's 700 students benefit from a diverse array of perspectives. This global mindset is seamlessly integrated into the academics. Their Dual-Language Spanish Immersion program provides students with an exceptional opportunity to become bilingual from an early age. Moreover, the school hosts numerous cultural events and welcomes guest speakers throughout the year, effectively bridging classroom lessons with real-world experiences. Elon's approach to academics extends beyond the classroom. One example is the community garden, meticulously maintained by the dedicated Garden Club, serves as a living classroom, allowing students to cultivate a profound appreciation for nature and sustainable living through hands-on learning. The diverse staff works hard to meet children where they are, providing a balanced education with opportunities to grow and connect with the world. These Lil' Phoenix are soaring!

We are so thrilled to recognize Elon Elementary teacher Jamie Haripershad as the 2024 Participate Learning Teacher of the Year! Mrs. Haripershad was surprised during a class celebration today for her students who recently published a book about her home country of South Africa (look for that story soon!) 🇿🇦 She is an incredibly kind, hard-working teacher who brings so much enthusiasm to celebrating her students' achievements. Did we say she was surprised? It was a BIG reveal and many tears were shed. Jamie was selected from thousands of talented teachers for this prestigious honor. Her dedication to creating an engaging, supportive classroom environment is inspirational. Join us in congratulating her on this well-deserved recognition!

Hands-on science activities included owl pellet dissections, creating art from recyclable materials, and a fun model of the digestion system using bananas, Sunny-D, and lots of squeezing! Students also explored mapping sustainable cities and used robots to simulate cleaning up ocean waste and contaminants. They interacted with live farm animals like ducks, goats, chickens, and turkeys from Fancy Chicks Farm and learned about sustainable land practices.
