Horace Mann Elementary

Congratulations to Mrs. Smiley’s Kindergarten Class! We are so proud of each and every one of you for all of your hard work, growth, and accomplishments this year. Watching you learn, laugh, and shine has been such a joy. You have grown so much and are ready for all the exciting adventures that 1st grade will bring. Always remember to believe in yourselves, be kind to others, work hard, and never stop learning. Keep using your bright smiles, big hearts, and amazing minds to do wonderful things. We know you will do great things in 1st grade, and we will always be so proud to have been your teachers. We love you and wish you all the best as you begin this exciting new chapter! With love, Mrs. Smiley and Miss Chloe

Mrs. McPherson’s Class 2025-2026 What an incredible year we have shared together. From the very first day of school to all the laughs, learning, and memories we made along the way, each one of you has made this year so special. I have loved watching you grow — not just in reading, writing, and math, but also in kindness, confidence, and friendship. Thank you for making this school year one I will never forget. I hope you have the best summer filled with fun, laughter, and adventure.

Tomorrow, Thursday May 14th is the last day! Tattoo a Teacher! This week, students can purchase temporary tattoos for participating teachers and staff members and on Funky Fitness Day, our Horace Mann team will proudly wear them all day long! Money will be collected throughout the week and every dollar raised helps support the amazing programs, traditions, and experiences PTO provides for our students and staff. Who will end up with the MOST tattoos?! We can’t wait to find out! Thank you for helping us make Duncan Horace Mann such a fun, encouraging and spirit-filled place for our kids.

A huge thank you to Life’s Hope and OneTrue Light for donating the puzzles! Our students truly enjoyed them and had a wonderful time working on them. We appreciate your kindness and support of our school!
