Mathematical thinking is always at home at McCoy Elementary School!  On September 12, Mr. Powell’s Second Grade Mathematicians added strings of numbers together to increase their number fluency.  They can solve problems easier than using a calculator!

Students at McCoy Elementary School are super artists!  That’s why so many McCoy Cowboys enter the Reflections art contest every year.  This year the theme is “Heroes Around Me”. Students may create entries illustrating that theme in any of these categories:  dance choreography, film production, literature, music composition, photography, or visual arts. Entries are due to art teacher Ms. Wheatley by October 12, 2018.
