Hopkins Elementary School

5th Grade Parent Night!

Pre-K students and their parents had a wonderful time decorating holiday cookies together! The room buzzed with excitement as little hands spread frosting, sprinkled colorful decorations, and proudly showed off their creations. Parents joined in the fun, helping their children experiment with shapes, colors, and yummy toppings. The activity was not only a festive way to celebrate the season but also a sweet opportunity for families to connect, laugh, and make warm holiday memories together.

Ms. Potter, a dedicated 1st grade teacher at Hopkins Elementary, has been selected as a Judson Education Foundation grant winner in recognition of her innovative approach to early literacy and her unwavering commitment to her students. Known for creating a warm, engaging, and hands-on learning environment, she consistently seeks new ways to spark curiosity and build confidence in her young learners. This grant will support her vision to expand meaningful, developmentally appropriate learning experiences in her classroom—enriching opportunities for her students to explore, create, and grow. Her passion, creativity, and dedication make her an exceptional educator and a deserving recipient of this honor.
