We are absolutely thrilled to announce that our very own Ms. Karly Lemm is the Deep Creek Central Elementary School 2025-2026 Teacher of the Year! 🍎🏆
Ms. Lemm is a phenomenal first-grade teacher and an indispensable part of our Hornet family, now in her eighth year of teaching. She is known for bringing creativity, passion, and excitement into her classroom every day.
Our Hornets adore Ms. Lemm for her amazing room transformations and unforgettable, imaginative lessons. (And yes, that huge hat is a nod to her favorite Broadway show, Wicked! 💚)
This honor is incredibly well-deserved! We are so proud of your hard work, dedication, and the magic you bring to Deep Creek Central. Congratulations, Ms. Lemm!💜🐝

We have some seriously happy second-grade Hornets in Mrs. Walters' class this week!
After writing letters to the teams they drafted for their NFL Elementary unit, we received some incredible swag back from the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Green Bay Packers!
Huge thanks to both organizations for supporting our students! This unit has been a blast—our students are researching cities, tracking stats, and learning about organizational history. Talk about engaging!

Looks good enough to eat! 🧁 Our amazing fourth-grade artists are channeling their inner Pop Art masters, inspired by the one and only Wayne Thiebaud! Known for his sweet paintings of cakes, pies, and pastries, Thiebaud's work is the perfect inspiration for these colorful three-dimensional projects. It's safe to say these masterpieces are a real treat to see!

Ms. Waterfield's 2nd graders had a delicious time learning about place value 🥨🍫
Our students used snacks to build models of ones, tens, and hundreds. It's amazing what a little creativity (and some tasty treats!) can do for a math lesson!
