🌟 It’s National Principals Month and today we’re shining the spotlight on Mr. Oakes, principal of Childers Elementary!
This morning we celebrated Childers for exceeding growth — and behind that success is a leader who cares deeply about his students and staff. Mr. Oakes is more than a principal; he’s a mentor, a role model, and even the main chef at home! (And if Hollywood ever comes calling, he’d happily take the lead in a James Bond film.)
His favorite piece of advice? “Always leave something better than you found it — it’s a mark of great character.” That wisdom shows up daily in the way he leads his school.
Take a moment today to thank Mr. Oakes for his dedication and to let him know the impact he makes at Childers and across our district. 💙

💙 A huge thank you to the Lincoln County Public Education Foundation (LCPEF) for supporting innovation at North Lincoln High School through grant funding!
Here are some pictures featuring just a few of our awesome grant items in action:
✨ iPads & portable screens – used by teachers during station rotation learning and even this week during our Leader in Me training so all staff could easily follow the presenter’s screen.
✨ White boards – supporting collaborative projects and planning, like an English class structuring arguments in a graphic organizer on one side and writing constructed responses on the other.
✨ Portable screens – just this morning, AP Seminar students used them to rehearse their upcoming presentation on the Holocaust.
Students and teachers alike have benefited from these resources, and we are so grateful for LCPEF’s investment in our classrooms. 📚🙌
