🌟We are proud to recognize Teacher of the year finalist Heather Febus, Title I Instructional Coach at Georgetown Primary!🌟
Mrs. Febus brings 16 years of dedication to education, having served students and teachers in various K-5 roles including kindergarten and first grade teacher, Assistant Principal, and now Instructional Coach. A graduate of Old Dominion University, she has made a lasting impact across every role she's taken on.
At the heart of Mrs. Febus's teaching philosophy is building relationships. She strives to know each teacher and student as an individual, and her superpower is connection. Her favorite teaching memories? Those candid conversations with students that turn into teachable moments.

This fun activity teaches them how to collect, organize, and represent data (horizontally and vertically!)—a foundational skill for all their future learning. Look at these amazing data scientists at work! 🧠✏️
We are so proud to share the beautiful Trees of Gratitude created by our students and their families! This wonderful home project, inspired by the story Thanksgiving is for Giving Thanks, truly shows the unique blessings our GTP families are grateful for—from fuzzy pets, loving siblings, and wonderful grandparents. Thank you for partnering with us to teach the importance of gratitude this season. 🙏✨
Our Georgetown Primary young scientists have been diving into the world of Matter and Force & Motion.
They used a delicious root beer float investigation to observe and identify the characteristics of solids, liquids, and gases—learning key concepts with a tasty reward! 🍦🥤
Students also explored Force and Motion with hands-on activities. They sharpened their skills on how gravity works by conducting a "Gravity Race," and warmed up their minds by identifying examples of push and pull. Science exploration is always a dynamic adventure at Georgetown Primary! ✨💡
We are officially diving into fall with our favorite class friend, Squashy Jason Sylvester! He's been keeping a watchful eye on all the amazing learning happening as our students explore the season.
From hands-on leaf investigations to seasonal creative projects, Mrs. Yohe’s class is embracing all the fun this colorful time of year has to offer. We love seeing our young learners engage with nature!
💙📚We are absolutely thrilled to announce the 2025-2026 GTP Reading Teacher of the Year: the incredible Alyssa Banas! 🌟 Ms. Banas embodies the heart of Georgetown Primary, going above and beyond to help each and every student find their love for reading and achieve their very best. What an inspiration to our GTP family! Congratulations, Ms. Banas! 🏆🎉📖
Our Georgetown Primary young learners dove into some delicious math, turning snacks into essential concepts! They mastered Place Value Munchies, where Cheez-Its became hundreds, pretzel sticks were tens, and M&M's were ones. What a tasty way to practice composing, decomposing, standard, and word form! 🥨🧀🍬
The math fun continued with Roll & Compare, a lively game that helped students sharpen their number comparison skills. Hands-on activities like these make abstract concepts concrete and set a strong foundation for future mathematical success! ✨✏️
Our Kindergarten students in Mrs. McLain's class designed their one-of-a-kind monsters! Then, the talented students in Ms. Engebretsen's Fashion Design class at IRHS took those designs and created them as real plush pals! What an incredible display of community, creativity, and partnership. Braves is who we are; RISE is what we do. Keep shining, everyone! ✨
The upcoming holiday season is filled with excitement, but it can also be a time when some of our families need a little extra support. 💛 🎙 In our newest episode of Amplified, we sit down with Lisa Kerry, one of our Family & Community Engagement (FACE) specialists and Nischelle Buffalow from Buffalow Family and Friends to talk about partnership, compassion, and how our community works together to make sure no one feels alone this season. 🎧 Hear the stories, learn how to access support, and discover ways to get involved at cpschools.com/amplified or wherever you get your podcasts. #EmpowerCPS #CPSCelebrates
🎃🎨 What a spooktacular time in Mrs. Yohe's class on Friday!
They celebrated Halloween by getting creative and making their very own class Squashy Jason Sylvester and decorating their own pumpkins! Seeing the students' personalities shine through their designs was the best part. What a great time combining art, creativity, and seasonal fun! ✨🧡
Mrs. Monroe's class embraced the holiday on Friday with our annual Book Character Day celebration. From stealthy ninjas to dazzling butterflies and courageous superheroes, our students showed off their love for reading and their incredible imaginations! Check out these costumes! What a magical day for literacy at Georgetown Primary. ✨👑🦋
They put their problem-solving skills to the test, collaborating to bring their sun-safe shelters to life. We are so proud of their teamwork and critical thinking!✨
