Today, we were proud to celebrate two exciting STEM grant awards that will make a meaningful impact for our students!
At Bagley Middle School, Mr. McEntire received a grant to support his technology classes, where students are diving into hands-on learning through robotics, rocket assembly, coding, and more.
At Woodlawn Elementary, Mrs. Wilcox was awarded a grant to support the school’s hydroponics system. Through this project, 3rd-grade students will grow fresh food that can be given back to their Helping Hands Pantry.
We are so thankful for opportunities like this that pour into our schools and students. Congratulations to these outstanding educators and their schools!
A heartfelt thank you to TVA, North Georgia Electric, and Congressman Fuller's office for investing in the future of Murray County Schools.

Mrs. Sheri Carr, CES art teacher, recently brought creativity to life in a whole new way by securing a grant to host the school’s first-ever glow-in-the-dark art show—and what a special night it was!
Every student had artwork proudly displayed during the school’s multicultural night, creating a memorable experience for both students and their families. Through her tireless efforts, Mrs. Carr made sure each child felt seen, celebrated, and proud of their work.
“Mrs. Carr’s passion for her students shines just as brightly as their artwork. She created an experience where every child felt special, and our families felt truly connected to our school. We are so blessed to have her at CES,” shared Principal Audre Allen.
Her dedication didn’t just light up the art room—it helped bring families together for an incredible parent-teacher night.
We are so thankful for educators like Mrs. Carr who go above and beyond to make learning meaningful and joyful for our students.
