Thank you to all of our volunteers, PTO, Mrs. Murphy, and Ms. Fulton to make this all happen!

Assistant Principal DeMaria and Ms. Corbett came to visit with our fourth grade cougars! They were able to give a brief overview of the middle school and answer some questions from our students. Our cougars will be going to the middle school on June 5th for Step Up Day!

Check out the new addition to Congin School! This year, we said goodbye to our original bleachers from 1974, the year that Congin was built. Mrs. Perkins, our art teacher, kept a panel from those bleachers and had GT art students make a sign to hang in the front of our building. Now everyone will be able to admire a little piece of Congin history!
Yesterday, our first grade cougars went to Pineland Farms and got to learn about various animals! Our cougars were a great audience!
