🌟 Student Spotlight 🌟
We are so proud of Rylea Villines, who was recognized at last night’s School Board Meeting for being an outstanding student at Huntsville Middle School! 💙
Her teachers had incredible things to say about her:
✨ “Her positivity, dedication, kindness, and respect truly stand out. She sets a great example for others and takes pride in her work and being a student.” – Mr. Taylor
✨ “Rylea works very hard in class and always volunteers to answer questions.” – Mrs. Robertson
✨ “She is a model student—helpful, kind, respectful, and always does an amazing job. I wish I had 100 Ryleas!” – Mrs. Watkins
Just yesterday, she noticed a new student in her art class and immediately invited them to sit by her and offered to help with all the things. 💕
Rylea, thank you for showing what it means to be a Huntsville Eagle every single day! 🦅

Our 6th graders were hard at work yesterday in ELA! 📚✨ Students partnered up to dig into texts, working together to figure out the theme and how it's revealed through supporting details—one of our priority standards. Love seeing their teamwork and critical thinking shine! 💡👏 #EaglePride #EngagedLearners
