Our Learning Community...
Tomorrow, we honor and celebrate the bravery and dedication of our veterans. We recognize the immense sacrifices made by our servicemen and women and the families who have supported them throughout their journeys. Your courage, strength, and unwavering commitment to our nation are deeply appreciated and valued. Thank you for your service.
This month provides a wonderful opportunity for our school community to honor the rich cultures, traditions, histories, and contributions of Indigenous peoples. It is also a chance for us to reflect on the ways we can support respect and understanding of Native American communities, past and present.
We invite you to join us at home by exploring Native American books, storytelling, art, and local history. You can even share what you discover with us so we can expand our learning together! Thank you for supporting our efforts to foster a more inclusive and appreciative school environment.

Highlights from last week...
Our 4th and 5th Graders have Instrumental Music every Monday. Music provides an outlet for self-expression, fosters creativity and a lifelong appreciation for the arts.
Practicing an instrument regularly teaches students perseverance, patience and the importance of consistent effort. They learn to set goals and work towards achieving them, which are skills that benefit all areas of life.
Playing in a band or orchestra requires students to work together, listen to each other, and blend their individual sounds to create a harmonious performance. This teamwork builds a sense of community and teaches the value of collaboration.
