Mrs. Parker's class enjoying an extra recess today for filling their compliment chart. They had to receive 10 compliments from other adults on campus to fill the chart and they did it! Way to go guys!


Umpire Wildcats don’t quit!
Even without access to our home court, our basketball players are hard at work practicing in Langley Gym.



Exciting times in Ms. Phoebe's history class at Umpire as our students participated in a classroom simulation of the Greek Olympics! From tongue-twisting debates to paper airplane javelin throws, the competition was fierce and fun! They also showcased their skills in boxing by memorizing box contents, hummed popular songs for music, designed unique flags for art, and even had a thumb wrestling championship! Kudos to all the students for their creativity and enthusiasm in bringing history to life!






It was a wild and wonderful day at CRES! Thanks to Carolina Critters, our students had the chance to learn about a variety of incredible animals through their engaging, hands-on presentation. From exploring animal behavior to discovering more about wildlife conservation and habitats, it was an unforgettable learning experience for everyone. The Carolina Critters program brings the wonders of nature directly to schools, creating an interactive space where students can deepen their understanding and appreciation for animals and their environments. Unforgettable memories were definitely made!




The Lost Tooth Club has gained 3 more members!

Huge thank you to Carolina Critters for coming to CRPS to show the awesome animals to our students and letting our teachers have a chance to hold some of the animals as well!
