Caring means showing kindness, empathy and concern for others. It involves being considerate of others' feelings, offering help when needed, and treating everyone with respect and compassion. These students received the award for demonstrating these qualities throughout the month of March.

Fifth graders are diving into the wonders of ancient Egypt through immersive VR experiences in their STEM class! By stepping into virtual pyramids, exploring bustling marketplaces, and even meeting pharaohs, they're not just learning history-- they're living it! This hands-on adventure blends technology with ancient culture, sparking curiosity and creativity as they discover how math, engineering, and science shaped one of the world's most fascinating civilizations.

🐸 In Ms. Catania's Pre-K 4 class, the tiny adventures are diving into the wonderful world of frogs! With wide-eyed wonder, they're examining frog eggs like curious little scientists. Each egg, like a tiny treasure, is a mystery waiting to be uncovered. The classroom is buzzing with excitement as the kids gently explore these squishy, slimy wonders, learning how these eggs will hatch into tiny tadpoles and, eventually, leap into the big wide world as frogs! It's a hopping time in Ms. Catania's class! 🐸
