Today is #WorldMentalHealthDay! At Breakthrough, we're committed to supporting the emotional well-being of our students. 💙 Your mental health matters, and it's okay to ask for help.

Let's create a safe and caring environment where everyone's mental health is a priority. Together, we can make a difference. 💪 #MentalHealthMatters

Last month, 3rd grade celebrated the end of Unit 1: Classic Tales with an unforgettable day of fun and learning! 🎉 Both classes enjoyed a whimsical tea party inspired by Alice in Wonderland, followed by a showing of the original Aladdin to cap off the day! The students had a blast diving into these timeless stories.

Last week, our 3rd graders took learning to new heights by creating rocket balloons to demonstrate Newton’s Third Law of Motion! 🎈✨ Through hands-on learning, students get to explore scientific concepts in a fun and engaging way, helping them grasp complex ideas more effectively.

Don’t forget! Breakthrough is closed Thursday & Friday, October 3-4, for Fall Break. 🍂🍁 There will be no after-care tomorrow, Wednesday, October 2, so be sure to plan accordingly. We hope everyone enjoys a relaxing and refreshing break! See you all back on Monday, October 7th, ready to jump back into learning! 📚

Last week our 4th graders revisited “Planet R” the realistic planet. We were reminded about realistic jobs and how the people that “live” on “Planet R” like to work with their hands and the types of tools that they use. The students got to hear from Leslie Dunstan, Marion Fish Hatchery Supervisor. Mr. Dunstan explained that in order to become a Fisheries Biologist II for the state of Alabama that they would need a bachelors degree in Fisheries Management. We are so grateful to Mr. Dunstan for coming to speak to our students and bringing this aspect of Planet R to life.
