Thank you, Bridgett Salazer, for hyping our teachers up with some back to school packages! We are so thankful for your support and thoughtfulness!

Thank you, Life Church, for the backpacks to start off a wonderful school year!

A huge shout out to Naomi Messer for making a PERFECT SCORE on her Social Studies TCAP Test last year!! Way to go, Naomi!

We're excited to share a new school-wide initiative led by our school counselors, Mrs. Ray and Ms. Baker, focused on the power of GOOD. Throughout the year, our students will explore ways to shift their perspective and understand that even on challenging days, there is always something positive to discover. By encouraging students to see the good, find the good, and do the good, we hope to foster a community of kindness, resilience, and optimism throughout our school. "Because sometimes, finding just a little good can make all the difference."

Our 5th graders are exploring physical and chemical changes in science this week! Today, they observed an exciting Cola and Mentos demonstration and discussed the science behind the reaction.

Independence Day for our Kindergarteners is September 8th!! We loved seeing all your smiling faces this week in the hallways. Due to the safety of our school, we are only allowing Kindergarten parents to walk students into school starting next week. Our kindergarten will earn independence on September 8th!
