Students in Mrs. Holland's math class recently put their geometry and measurement skills to work for two very special clients: the school bunnies, Dr. Flippins and Dottie.
Working alongside local community members, students mapped out mathematical grids to design custom wooden dig boards. They got hands-on experience using a circular saw and drill to cut and prepare the lumber before lacing natural sisal rope through the grid holes to create interactive play surfaces. To keep the rabbits' minds active, the class also collected recycled materials—including egg cartons, lunch bags, and paper towel tubes—to build a stimulating busy board.
Judging by the photos, Dr. Flippins and Dottie are already big fans of their new enrichment toys. Thank you to our community partners for helping our students bring classroom math into the real world!

Asbury Academy students spent the morning supporting Union Elementary School during their annual Veteran’s Breakfast. As a designated Purple Star School, Asbury Academy remains dedicated to honoring and serving the military and veteran community. Throughout the event, students greeted arriving veterans, worked alongside elementary students to serve breakfast, and listened to the morning presentation honoring those who have served.

Attention Asbury Academy families and students: reminder that there is no school tomorrow, Wednesday, November 11th.
During this morning's announcements, Miss Emory shared that students have had a fantastic week so far with zero discipline issues. Principal Grega announced that as a special reward for their great behavior, he is giving everyone Wednesday off to sleep in.
While Mr. Grega loves playing the cool principal who hands out surprise days off, Wednesday, November 11th is actually Veterans Day. Enjoy your mid-week break, catch up on rest, and take time to honor our veterans. School will resume on Thursday.

Congratulations to Ms. Shelby's class for officially completing F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby"! To mark the end of their deep dive into the Jazz Age classic, the students stepped back in time to celebrate with a full-blown 1920s Gatsby party, complete with period attire and vintage flair. Asbury Academy is proud of their dedication to literary exploration!

In a busy school day, it is often the simplest gestures that leave the biggest impact. Today, a thoughtful student stopped by Officer Rushing’s office with a special delivery—a framed photo featuring himself and a friend to display on her desk.
While our School Resource Officers spend their days focusing on safety and support, moments like this highlight the real heart of their work: building lasting, positive connections with our students. Officer Rushing’s office is now a little brighter, a little warmer, and filled with even more personality and love.
Thank you to our amazing students for reminding us that small acts of kindness truly mean the world.

The Pirate Perspective Club is back with our latest feature in the "If Only You Were Here" series, celebrating the wonderful staff members who make Asbury Academy feel like home.
If you walked through the halls today, you definitely noticed a big boost in campus energy—our beloved Assistant Principal and First Mate, Mrs. Hoyle, has officially returned from her well-deserved maternity leave! The entire Pirate crew couldn't be happier to have her back on deck.
Students spent the day catching up with her between classes, sneaking a peek at adorable baby photos, sharing lunch, and getting that extra dose of encouragement that Mrs. Hoyle always brings to our school.
The Role of an Assistant Principal:
Campus Culture Creators: Assistant principals do far more than manage daily operations; they build positive relationships, advocate for students, and help maintain a supportive environment where everyone can thrive.
Academic & Personal Guidance: From helping navigate school milestones to offering a listening ear, administrators like Mrs. Hoyle play a vital role in keeping students motivated and on track for graduation.
Strong Community Connections: School leaders set the tone for campus life. Having caring administrators visible in the hallways creates a sense of safety, belonging, and community for all students.

If you stepped into the science lab today, you would have seen students getting their hands messy while making Oobleck with Asbury’s very own Mrs. Davis! This quick mixture of cornstarch and water creates a fascinating substance that acts as both a solid and a liquid depending on how much pressure you apply.
Doing science experiments in person brings textbook concepts to life, transforming complex ideas into unforgettable hands-on experiences.
Science of Oobleck:
Non-Newtonian Fluid: Unlike normal liquids like water, Oobleck is a non-Newtonian fluid. It changes its viscosity (thickness) depending on the force applied to it—press it hard and it feels solid, but relax your hand and it flows like liquid!
Dr. Seuss Inspiration: The name "Oobleck" originates from the famous 1949 Dr. Seuss book, Bartholomew and the Oobleck, where a gooey green substance falls from the sky.
Engaged Learning: Science experiments boost critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and active participation far more than reading a textbook alone.
Missing class means missing out on the cool experiments and interactive labs that make learning fun. Show up, get your hands messy, and discover what's happening in Mrs. Davis's lab next!

If You Were Only Here you would have brightened the start of the day by challenging our favorite community servants to a fast-paced game of infinite tic-tac-toe! Students had a blast taking on our current School Resource Officer Rushing, alongside former SRO Millerstrom.
Beyond keeping our campus secure, SRO Rushing is truly dedicated to supporting the whole student. This week, she was even spotted stepping into Math 3 class to help students tackle writing equations of circles!
The Impact of School Resource Officers:
Building Trust: SROs serve as positive mentors, fostering strong, trusting relationships between law enforcement, students, and the local community.
Supporting the Whole Student: From helping out with tough math problems to sharing laughs over a game, or going for a short walk in the hallway, SROs actively engage in student life to support emotional and academic success.
Campus Safety & Mentorship: SROs combine safety expertise with daily mentorship, ensuring our school remains a secure environment where every student feels valued and protected.
When you miss school, you miss out on building meaningful connections with staff who genuinely care about your success. Don't let a rainy day keep you away—show up, dive into your classes, and see if you can beat SRO Rushing in tic-tac-toe!

"If Only You Were Here": Taking the Court with Nurse Henkle
If you stepped into the gym this week, you might have caught basketball master Nurse Henkle taking on a 3-on-1 matchup against our students! Whether she is sinking shots on the court or caring for students in her office, Nurse Henkle brings energy, dedication, and heart to our school every day.

Mind & Body Connection: A school nurse provides a safe space for students experiencing stress or anxiety, supporting mental wellness right alongside physical health.
Academic Champions: Studies show that school nurses help decrease absenteeism and improve graduation rates by addressing health barriers directly in the building.
Health Educators: From promoting proper hydration and good sleep habits to encouraging active play in the gym, our nurse works daily to build healthy habits that last a lifetime.
