Blue Academy

Congratulations to a very special staff member and our 2025 Support Staff of the Year, Mr. Nation!! You have been a huge support to the culture and success of both our kids and adults at Blue since Day 1. We are #DecaturProud! @MSDDecatur

A whole hearted and well deserved congratulations to our 24-25 Teacher of the Year, Mrs. White! We are so proud you call Blue your home and thankful for ALL of our nominees- Mrs. Henson, Mrs. Binks, Mrs. Clark, and Ms. Adams! You all truly make a difference. #DecaturProud

Every 3rd grader needs a “Good Luck” to start their IREAD journey!

Blue is starting IREAD today and we are so incredibly excited for these 3rd grade students to do their best! Thank you to our Blue Parents for your notes of encouragement and your continued support for your kids and their teachers!

3rd grade “Camp Learn-A-Lot” is going strong in 3rd grade today as they prepare to start IREAD this week!

Main Idea w/ Details is one thing... but in a Reader's Theater?! 2nd Grade HA S's took their evidence from this week's #HMH story and created, practiced, and presented their own play called "Plant University". Classmate support, feedback, and smiles. #TomorrowReady #DecaturProud

Our Valentines at @DELC_Gold sent us heart shaped pizza!!! Thanks so much, neighbor! Such a kind surprise. #DecaturProud

Congratulations to our Spelling Bee School Champion - Logan Griffin-Pierce! We had 2 runners up: Meleah Brandelein and Cortland Davis. In 3rd, from THIRD grade, Isaac Akinniyi! We are so #DecaturProud of you and wish Logan luck in the @MSDDecatur Spelling Bee! #BelieveinBlue

Breakfast for the @DELCBlue bus drivers! @MSDDTT has bent over backwards assisting Blue this year, we are so very lucky to have dedicated drivers that always put kids first! The least we could do is a little breakfast to get their Tuesday going!

That ELF was at it again! Always pulling pranks… and you should see what he wrote on our Chalkboard!!! #2DaystoBreak

It’s official…Blue Academy is on the NICE list! A visit from Saint Nicholas today made a special stop by Blue to talk to the students about the school year and remembering the expectations the next 2 days! H.A.W.K.S

These kids saved their “Blue Bucks” for a solid 9 weeks to be able to buy a ticket to go to “Snacks with Santa” today! MTSS and behavior incentives are strong at The Blue Academy!

Lunch with Lumbley, Mr. Lumbley that is! These kindergarteners redeemed 100 Blue Bucks today to have lunch with their building principal and spend lunch watching “Polar Express”!

Pancake bar and Biscuits & Gravy for our Blue Crew! Last week before winter break. Happy Holidays! #DecaturProud @MSDDecatur

Bad day to be a snowman 💔 Just when we got rid of the GRINCH, more winter trouble is here! Keep your eyes out for the Elf, Blue Academy! @MSDDecatur

We are so proud and grateful! @CISJalaina ❤️

“Secret Elf” in full force yesterday! We got to take 6 kids in 4th, 5th, and 6th to @Walmart to shop for 7 kids who are in need of Christmas assistance this year! Loved seeing their hearts and desire to do a good job picking the perfect gifts! @evansull329 @CISJalaina

Thank you to our 5A State Champs and the leadership, encouragement, and love you showed our students today! You are amazing role models! @vogelashton15 @farel_carter1 @Brycejohnson46 @DCHawkFootball

5A State Champs make the best role models for our students! This group of amazing athletes came to school today so we could show support for them and it ended up they supported our kids and loved on our kids! @BoPolston @kasmirjhicks2 @CampbellMykul @NpoDodo @AlecSurber
