Today marks the final day of STAAR testing for our incredible 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade scholars. We are so proud of their hard work, perseverance, and positive attitudes throughout this testing season!
To celebrate, we’re sharing a little extra love from one of our biggest cheerleaders, our amazing music teacher, reminding every student just how valued they are.

There is something truly special about a room filled with people who simply show up, again and again, with generous hearts and willing hands.
Our recent Volunteer Appreciation Breakfast was a small way to say a very big thank you to the incredible individuals who pour so much into our community. From classroom volunteers, REACH Mentors, Reading Buddies, and all those behind the scenes moments, your impact is felt in ways that can't always be measured, but is always meaningful.
"Volunteers do not necessarily have the time, they just have the heart." - Elizabeth Andrew
We are deeply grateful for each of you. You are the reason we can do what we do, and do it well!

The Cardboard Challenge is in full swing! As you and your student "synergize" on your game design this week, here are a few tips to keep in mind:
Make it Playable: Games can be easy or difficult, but they should be winnable!
Think Recycled: Look beyond just boxes—think bottle caps, string, or old paper towel rolls for game pieces and decorations.
Focus on Fun: The best part of this challenge is the time spent creating together. Games are due to the Malvern library by April 30. We can't wait to see your creations!

Last night we proudly celebrated Mrs. Shalicia Bables, Malvern’s Teacher of the Year and one of McKinney ISD’s Teachers of the Year!
Mrs. Bables goes above and beyond to ensure every child feels seen, supported, and capable of success. She creates a classroom where students take ownership of their learning, build confidence, and grow academically and socially. Through high expectations, meaningful relationships, and intentional instruction, she meets students where they are and helps them reach their full potential.
Malvern is better because of Mrs. Bables, and our students are stronger because of her dedication.
We are grateful for the difference Mrs. Bables makes in the lives of our scholars every day. ❤️🦅 #EveryStudentEveryDay #RedHawksRising
