📚💙 School Librarian Appreciation 💙📚

Today we proudly celebrate our amazing Media Coordinator, Mrs. Borders! 🐾✨

Mrs. Borders is the heart of our media center—creating a space where imagination grows, curiosity is sparked, and a love for reading comes to life. From helping students discover their next favorite book to supporting teachers and fostering a culture of literacy across our school, her impact is felt in every corner of our building.

Thank you, Mrs. Borders, for your dedication, creativity, and the care you pour into our students each and every day. You truly help our Panthers learn, explore, and dream big! 💙📖

Reading Challenge
🏆📚 The championship trophy made its way to C.F. Pope Elementary today, and it was a good chance to celebrate what this school accomplished in the Road to the Championship: PCS March Reading Tournament 2026.

C.F. Pope earned this win. Students brought real energy to the tournament and made reading part of the school day in every way they could. That kind of excitement helped carry the Panthers all the way to the top. 💙🐾

For a school with the sixth smallest student population out of our 19 schools, this was HUGE - like a 15 seed knocking off a two!! Congrats to C.F. Pope Elementary and their community on a well-deserved championship. 🎉

April is on the menu… have you taken a look? 🍽️📅

Don’t let your Panther miss out on what’s cooking! From tasty favorites to nutritious new bites, our April lunch menu is packed with options to keep students fueled and focused all month long.

Take a few minutes to review the menu with your child so they know what to expect (and what days they definitely don’t want to miss 😉).

Check it out, plan ahead, and let’s make lunchtime something to look forward to! 🐾💙 #PantherPride #LunchLineUp #FuelForLearning

Shoutout to an amazing student in Mrs. Croom’s PE class who took the initiative to help get our garden beds ready as part of a school beautification project! 🌼🌿

This is what Panther Pride looks like—teamwork, responsibility, and taking ownership of our school environment. We love seeing our students go beyond the classroom and make a positive impact on our campus!
