Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Hagood! 🍂🦃 We are so grateful for our incredible students, families, and staff who make our school such a special place. Wishing you a day filled with love, laughter, and gratitude! 🧡

🥞🧈 Mrs. Lance’s 5th-grade class stepped back in time! 🕰️✨ To wrap up their reading module on the Wild West, students learned about homesteading and made their own butter—just like pioneers did! 🚜🍶 Hands-on learning brought history to life, and the students had a blast tasting their hard work. Who else is ready to churn up some fun? 😄

🎈✨ Thanksgiving is almost here, and we’re gearing up for the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in the most creative way! 🦃 Mrs. Stone's 5th-grade class took on the Float Challenge to design a structure that keeps a balloon floating high without touching the ground. 🛠️💡 They tackled engineering concepts like weight distribution and strong structures—and the results are amazing! 👏
