Fulton Pirates Elementary

Our first graders have been busy little artists lately 🎨❤️ In art class, students created beautiful self-portraits, celebrating what makes each of them unique, and painted vibrant hand print cardinals to brighten these chilly days. So much creativity, focus, and pride shining through their work—we love seeing their personalities come to life on paper! ❄️🐦 #FirstGradeArtists #StudentCreativity #WinterAr

REMINDER!
There is NO Pioneer club tonight. Please plan accordingly for end of the day changes!
Thank you

100 days smarter and 100 days brighter! 🎉 Our first graders celebrated the 100th day of school in the best way—by learning, creating, and dreaming BIG. We wrote 100 words (and were so proud of our stamina!), made necklaces with 100 pieces of cereal, and let our imaginations soar as we wrote about what we would do if we had $100. From buying toys and helping family to saving for the future, their ideas were as sweet as their cereal necklaces. I’m so proud of how much they’ve grown in 100 days—here’s to the next 100! 💛💙

📈 One Day Missed Adds Up! 📈
Missing just 1–2 days each month can slow learning. Let’s make every day in class count toward a bright future!

Our first graders are celebrating the season of love in the sweetest way 💕 We spent time thinking about all the things that make each of us special and the many reasons we love ourselves. Students poured their hearts into creating their very own “Mugs of Love,” filled with affirmations, talents, and proud moments. So much joy, confidence, and self-love in one classroom! ☕️💗 #SeasonOfLove #SelfLove #FirstGradeJoy

Due to current road conditions, Fulton Schools will be closed today. Please be safe.

For the entire month of February, Fulton Elementary PTO is putting on the snowball challenge! The kids love it and it helps raise money for PTO to give back to the school.

We’re excited to welcome Officer Greene from the Gratiot County Sheriff’s Office as our new School Resource Officer! 🎉

We appreciate the proactiveness and strong partnership of Officer Greene and the Gratiot County Sheriff’s Office. Officer Greene will be shared among schools throughout Gratiot County, and you will see him—along with other officers—regularly in our buildings, focused on getting to know students and staff and building positive relationships.

Through a Memorandum of Understanding between Gratiot County schools and the Sheriff’s Office, this partnership emphasizes mentorship, education, prevention, and assistance, supporting both student safety and a welcoming school environment.

We’re grateful for this collaboration and look forward to the positive impact this partnership will have across Gratiot County schools. 💙🚓
