Thank you to everyone who attended our Academic Showcase on March 6. We had an amazing turnout and families were engaged together learning about what students have been working on at school. Our students were proud to show their parents what they've learned and have been creating in their classrooms. Thank you to all of the teachers and staff who worked tirelessly to coordinate the event and to our very special students who come to school every day ready to learn, ambitious, mindful, and safe. We are all so very proud of you!

Our third-graders put on an outstanding concert for their families in January, singing several winter-themed songs. Even our ukulele club participants were able to showcase their musical talents! A special thank you goes to Ms. Phillips for her exceptional work with students and coordinating such a wonderful event. Thank you to our third grade students for giving us a reason to come together as a school community to celebrate you! Well done!

Congratulations to all of our students for collectively earning more than 5,000 RAM awards!

A reminder for students to bring their water bottles to school every day. Hydration is crucial for their well-being and concentration in the classroom.

Thank you for your cooperation in keeping our students refreshed throughout the day.

**We are graciously accepting donations of small paper or plastic cups for students to use to access water when they forget to bring their water bottles to school. THANK YOU!!**
