Culture Eats Structure for Lunch!

Joyner's not just a school, it's a community. It's not a place to be for six years of your life, it's a place that will change the rest of your life.

Who thought golf was a dangerous sport?

The little white things in the picture aren't eggs, they're golf balls.  While golfing at the Sea Pines Heron Point Course, my ball came to rest with several others near a fairly large alligator.  Needless to say, I left my golf ball with the gator.

Happy Fourth of July

We are enjoying our week at Sea Pines on Hilton Head Island.  Our house is on the 10th hole of the Ocean Course and we have some interesting neighbors.

Getting Ready for 2011-2012!!!

Our Head Custodian, Mr. Bizzell, has been working hard to get our 4th and 5th grade teachers moved into the main building and to get our Spanish Teachers moved into the modular building.

We are converting our Computer Lab to a classroom and will set up a portable computer lab that we will set up each day in the WJYJ newsroom after the news.  

We are tentatively planning on having a classroom in First Grade and a classroom in Second Grade that will be team taught with two teachers working with a class of students.
