A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for our Volunteer Appreciation Reception! They say it takes a village, but we’re pretty sure our village is powered by these individuals who show up for our kids to enrich them in so many ways!

Our school thrives because you choose to roll up your sleeves, and make things happen for our students. Whether you spent an hours putting books on shelves in the library or a Friday night running a festival, we see you and we appreciate you.

A big thank you to our PTA President-Chelsie Ardelan! Your service to our school the last four years does not go unnoticed and we love you!

A huge THANK YOU to Rainbow Puppets for visiting us today! 🌈✨

Our students were absolutely mesmerized by the show. There’s nothing quite like seeing stories come to life to remind us all why reading is such a grand adventure.

We loved the music, the laughs, and the message. You’ve definitely sparked some new "reading fever" in our hallways! 📚🎭

Today, we are sending a massive thank you to the heart of our clinic, Nurse Shanan! Taking care of our littlest learners is no small feat. From soothing scraped knees on the playground to calming upset tummies with a smile, Nurse Shanan makes our school a safer, happier place every single day.

Why we love Nurse Shanan:
The Magic Touch: She knows exactly how to fix a "boo-boo" and a bad mood at the same time.

Patience of a Saint: She handles our kindergartners, first graders, and second graders with endless grace.

Safety First: She keeps our community healthy so our students can focus on what they do best—learning and playing!

Let’s show her some love! Drop a "Thank You" note in the comments below to let Nurse Shanan know how much she means to our school family.
