Fairy Tale Ball
The Kindergarten Fairy Tale Ball was a magical celebration to celebrate the end of their CKLA unit. Dressed as princes, princesses, and fairy-tale characters, the children enjoyed a royal feast of cakes and juice served in goblets. They even danced the waltz they had learned in music class, making the day a joyful and memorable storybook experience.
National School Counselor Week
It’s National School Counselor Week, and we’re celebrating the amazing hearts behind the helping hands! Thank you, Mrs. Spivey, Mrs. Little, and Mrs. Glenn, for always supporting our Bobcat family. 
Congratulations Knox!
Drayton Hall's own Knox Mundy placed in the top 10 at the district spelling bee and will be advancing to the regional bee in March. He has been a part of our school since CD!
This was a district-wide competition for 5th to 8th graders, which makes this accomplishment even more impressive. He correctly spelled abnegation, along with many other impressive words!
Congratulations Knox!
CD Fashion Show
To celebrate the end of their clothing unit, the CD classes put on a fashion show for their families. The show was full of style, confidence, and big smiles. Our students rocked the stage and looked amazing!
Music Fundraiser
Congratulations to Drayton Hall Elementary School for being awarded a grant for "Science of Trombones: Visualizing Pitch." It is being funded by Toshiba America! This $1000 grant will allow them to purchase a class set of pBuzz instruments, which are the brass family equivalent to the woodwind family's recorder!
