Eastlawn Elementary School

🌱📚 Did You Know? The Eastlawn Literacy Garden 💙💛 At Eastlawn Global Elementary, learning doesn’t stop at the classroom door,it blooms in our Literacy Garden! 🌿 Our 3rd–5th grade Panthers are digging into literacy and life lessons as they connect reading, writing, and science through hands-on gardening experiences. With the help of our dedicated staff and volunteers from Elon University, students explore NC Literacy and Science Standards through real-world learning: 📖 RL.3–5.1–10 – Determining themes, key details, and main ideas through garden stories and reflections. 🪴 W.3–5.2–7 – Writing informative texts and procedural steps while documenting plant growth and environmental change. 🌎 Science Standards 3.L.2–5.L.2 – Understanding ecosystems, plant life cycles, and the impact of environmental care. This living classroom allows Panthers to enhance comprehension, vocabulary, and writing fluency—while developing teamwork, responsibility, and global citizenship. 🌍✨ We’re so proud of our students, staff, and Elon University volunteers for creating a space where literacy grows right alongside the plants! 💚 #EastlawnGlobal #PantherPride #WeThrive #LiteracyGarden #HandsOnLearning #GlobalLeaders #ElonUniversity #ABSSProud

We are proud to recognize Sarah Smith, Speech Language Pathologist, as our 2025 Exceptional Children Educator of Excellence. Mrs. Smith was nominated by Principal Smith-Williams at Eastlawn Elementary School, who shared, “Sarah is being recommended because she consistently supports teachers through collaboration, ensures understanding, and demonstrates flexibility and encouragement in meeting the needs of students and staff.”

A dedicated advocate for her students, Mrs. Smith believes that every child can achieve high expectations. We are honored and thrilled to celebrate Sarah Smith as this year’s Educator of Excellence for ABSS. She will be recognized at the 74th Conference on Exceptional Children in Greensboro, NC, this November!
