🎄As you are enjoying the last moments of Christmas, we wanted to share a few more pictures from our holiday fun last week!

Our Wildcat Buddy groups met today, bringing together staff and students across the school to build meaningful connections and strengthen relationships. These monthly gatherings foster a sense of community and teamwork, supporting a positive school environment where everyone feels they belong!
🎄Our incredible staff members were showing their festive spirit today by dressing up as characters from some favorite Christmas movies! From Santa’s helpers to reindeer, there’s a little bit of holiday magic in the air!
Our Warner family continues to make a difference in our community! During our food drive partnership with the Jessamine County Chamber of Commerce, we collected over 1,400 food items that will be donated to the Jessamine County Food Pantry. Congratulations to Ms. Simpson's class for bringing in the most items - 316! Also, many thanks to our Student Leadership Team for coordinating the food drive at Warner, gathering the items from the classrooms and counting all of the items. We're also grateful for a few Warner Champions who helped with the gathering and counting of the items, too. What a great way to come together and make an impact!
🎄Our annual holiday sing-along tradition was a hit! Students and staff had a blast playing holiday-themed games, singing festive holiday songs, and celebrating the season together. It was the perfect way to spread holiday cheer!
Our STEM class has been full of holiday cheer as our 5th grade students built balloon-powered rockets to test speed and distance for Santa’s sleigh. They also discussed potential and kinetic energy. What a fun way to explore STEM concepts!
What a wonderful night celebrating our talented students in the 4th grade's winter musical showcase! Based on the book A Mountain of Mittens by Lynn Plourde, our students brought the story to life through acting, singing, dancing, and playing instruments. A huge thank you to Mrs. Crockett for her creativity and hard work in making this performance possible!
Friday was an exciting day for our 3rd-5th graders!

We're so grateful for our partnership with JCTC and the incredible opportunities they bring to our Warner community!
🎉Our Girls on the Run team rocked their 5K race at Keeneland today! This amazing program helps girls build self-esteem, confidence, friendships, and fitness.

Mrs. Blandford, Ms. Beale, and Mrs. Coy enjoyed their time with some special students who purchased Lunch with a Counselor or Lunch with a Principal using their i-Ready Bucks they earned for passing i-Ready lessons!
Our 5th grade Entrepreneur Fair was a fantastic experience for our students! It provided a hands-on opportunity to learn about our economy and key business concepts such as marketing, profit, and supply and demand. Students created business plans to sell goods and services which helped them understand how businesses operate in the real world. It was a fun and engaging way for them to apply what they learned in class while developing valuable skills. Many thanks to Ms. Anders and the 5th Grade Team for providing our students with this incredible opportunity!
Our WondORFFul Wildcat musical group performed an engaging Orff-style music program this evening! Orff Schulwerk is a music approach that emphasizes music-making through instruments, movement, singing, and drama, allowing students to combine rhythm, melody, and expression. We are grateful that Mrs. Crockett has provided this opportunity to showcase our very talented students!
A big thank you to the Jessamine County Public Library for hosting our first graders for an unforgettable tour, storytime, and loads of fun! The kids had a fantastic time exploring the library and learning the magic of reading. We appreciated their warm hospitality and dedication to fostering a love for books in our young learners!
💙The Warner community makes a difference in our world! Cincinnati Children's Hospital sent us a supersized check commemorating our Coins for Cancer donation for pediatric cancer research and a meaningful note from a CCH staff member. The check is now hanging in our front hallway alongside three other checks from our previous donations.
Our halls are decked out with these beautiful mini mosaics that our students designed and created on their own during art class!
