Sonoraville Elementary PE teacher Trey Hart and paraprofessional Becki Hall had 5th graders stretching in preparation for basketball drills before a change of plans--fire drill! The students at SES handled it perfectly. Students returned and worked hard at their stations!
We are excited to welcome our parents on campus for our Come Learn With Me Event next Thursday, October 31st. Parents will learn alongside their child during a 30-minute segment. We ask that parents with more than one child return to the office after each classroom visit. Thank you, and we look forward to welcoming you to campus on October 31st.
Next week, we are celebrating Red Ribbon Week at SES. Red Ribbon Week highlights the importance of living a drug-free life. It presents an opportunity for parents, educators, and communities to reinforce the drug-free messages they share with their children throughout the year. We encourage our students to take a stand against drugs with lessons and special dress-up days. This year's theme is "Life is a Movie, Film Drug Free".
Monday, students may wear pajamas as they dream of a drug-free future.
Tuesday, students will shine like a star as they dress as their favorite movie star or character. Wednesday is community wear red day, and we walk the red carpet and stay drug-free. Thursday, students can 'boo' to drugs as they wear their Halloween costumes to school. Friday is an At-Home Learning Day, so students will not attend school on Friday.
Our third through fifth graders participated in the Drugs Don't Work poster contest sponsored by Gordon County's Drugs Don't Work Task Force, The Gordon County Chamber of Commerce, and Mannington. The winner for Sonoraville Elementary School was fifth grader Hadley Evans. Hadley was honored at a special reception at the Harris Arts Center.
We’re incredibly proud of the ongoing commitment to learning and excellence shown by our amazing Gordon County Schools faculty and staff! Let’s celebrate recent achievements in advanced degrees, certifications, and endorsements across our schools.
From earning master's degrees to gaining specialized endorsements and certifications, our educators are continuously growing to better serve our students and community.
Join us in congratulating our team on their hard work and dedication! Together, we are building a brighter future for our students.

Today, we had the honor of hosting Georgia Senator Chuck Payne (District 54) at Sonoraville Elementary during Georgia Pre-K Week! Senator Payne spent time with our youngest learners, sharing the importance of reading and getting an education.
Our Pre-K students loved hearing Senator Payne read two books: Malcolm Mitchell's "A Magnificent Field Trip to the Governor's Mansion" and the Sesame Street classic, "The Monster at the End of This Book." They were laughing at the funny voices and had a great time. We appreciate Bright from the Start Pre-K Specialist Jae Boyd for being a guest listener today.
When Senator Payne finished reading, he gave all the students a big hug and shared positive words about their futures when they work hard and strive to be good readers.
We are so grateful for Senator Payne’s dedication to fostering a love of reading in our students. His visit was a reminder of the lasting impact a good book and an inspiring role model can have on a child's education. Thank you, Senator Payne, for your support of our students and their futures!
