Colorful smiles and creative hearts filled the halls of Chisholm Elementary as students received a generous donation of more than 35,000 Crayola crayons from Montgomery-born artist Herb Williams! 🎨💛
This act of kindness didn’t stop there! Students at Dalraida, Flowers, Carver, MacMillan, Blount, Bear, and Nixon Elementary Schools also received vibrant bundles of crayons to spark creativity in their art classrooms.
A huge thank-you to Herb for coloring our students’ world with imagination and joy! 🌈

This week, we're also celebrating and honoring the incredible nurses of MPS.
Our nurses have compassionate hearts and calm hands who care for our students daily. From bandaging scraped knees to managing chronic conditions, from comforting anxious hearts to supporting mental wellness, our school nurses do it all. And for that and so much more, we say THANK YOU, MPS NURSES!

We’re excited to share that our Keep the Beat event this Saturday has reached full capacity! While we’re a little sad we can’t fit everyone in, it’s a great sign of strong community interest and support. We’ll continue to monitor ticket requests and will send out an update if any spots open up.
Together, we’re raising awareness about the importance of regular school attendance and encouraging families to update their contact information.
See you all Saturday at 3:00 pm at the Multiplex!
