🌎 Celebrating Earth Day!

Mrs. Alexander’s first-grade class spent time caring for our environment by cleaning up trash around the playground and pond. We also gathered in the pavilion to read an Earth Day book and talk about ways we can help take care of our planet.

We even spotted a goose protecting her eggs—she wasn’t too sure about us being nearby, but it was a great reminder of how animals care for their homes too!

Small actions can make a big difference 💚

Another record falls! 🔥 On Friday, Marissa Bonham broke her own school record in the 200m! 🏃‍♀️ New Record: 26.27 📉 Previous Record: 26.29 She keeps raising the standard—great work!

Mrs. Dapper's Advanced Math and Reading students participated in their annual GLOW Week last week in preparation for their upcoming state tests! They completed all of their assignments and task cards under the black light with highlighters! Fun was had by all, all while reviewing their skills!

Mark your calendars!
