🏆📚 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

Please support our fair. The proceeds directly benefit the library and is used to purchase books, furniture, and other supplies/incentives!

Panther Families, End of Grade testing will be here in just 6 weeks. Here are the dates, please check appointments and other things to ensure that students in grades 3 through 5 will be present for their EOG testing on May 8, 12, 14, and 19th!
