Horace Mann Elementary

Some bunnies had an egg-citing egg hunt today!

Congratulations to these students for demonstrating good behavior when their teacher was out!

Thank you, Wilkins Health and Rehabilitation Community, for welcoming Horace Mann’s kindergarten and 1st grade students for a fun-filled egg hunt and special snack. Your generosity and hospitality made the day extra special for our students!

We are so proud of our March Reading BINGO participants. 📚❤️

4th grade set out to find the elusive Lirpa Loof 🔎🐦 Turns out the bird may be fake, but the fun (and the ELA standards-based review) was 100% real! Making learning fun. ❤️🖤

Hat Day Mondays are HERE! Starting tomorrow, students can wear their favorite hat all day at school every Monday for just $1! All funds raised will go toward playground improvements, helping make our school even more fun for our students! 🛝❤️🖤 Let’s see those hats, Horace Mann! #ChampionsOfExcellence #HatDayMondays

Congratulations Liam! So proud of you for earning a sub ticket for good behavior.

Horace Mann had a blast at STEM with the Mad Scientist! Thank you Mad Scientist for bringing exciting experiments, hands-on activities, and a memorable experience for everyone! We’d love to hear from you—what was your favorite experiment?

Brag alert! 🎉 Our amazing 5th grade students took 1st place at the academic meet, and we couldn’t be more proud! They represented our school with excellence, determination, and teamwork. Thank you, Mrs. Adams, for investing in our students! Way to go, champions! 🏆 👏

When you’re playing at recess and realize you’re dressed just like your friends. ❤️🖤❤️

Mrs. McPherson’s class has loved having a Cameron student spend time with us! Today, Ms. Ashley led a fun science experiment as we explored a big question: Which works better for bird feeders — peanut butter and bird seed or coconut and bird seed? 🐦 Our students made predictions, got hands-on, and can’t wait to see which feeder our feathered friends like best! Stay tuned for the results! 🌿✨

📅 Reminder: District-Wide Make-Up Day – Friday, April 3

Duncan Public Schools will be in session on Friday, April 3, for a district-wide make-up day.

All inclement weather days were used during the January snow and ice storm, requiring one additional day to meet state attendance requirements.

We understand this adjustment may cause some inconvenience and sincerely appreciate the flexibility and support of our families and staff.

These are our winners of the Bookfair drawing.

Horace Mann first graders are officially members of the Two Bite Club! 🥕🍎🥦 A big thank you to Megan, Stephanie, and their guests for visiting our classroom and helping us learn about trying new healthy foods and building a balanced diet. Our students had so much fun tasting and learning! This exciting program is part of Pathways to a Healthier You, and we are so proud of our brave first graders for giving new foods a try! 👏🥗✨
