We kicked off our PBIS Relaunch with a massive celebration, and our school family definitely knows how to RISE to the occasion! ✨ From "professional" air guitar solos 🎸 to mastering the flamingo pose 🦩, the spin-the-wheel challenges kept us all laughing and cheering. And if you know, you know... six seveeeeen! 🤫👋
A HUGE shoutout to our brave staff members who went above and beyond (and maybe got a little warm 🥵) to make this day special. Thank you to Ms. Bohne, Ms. Sawyer, and Ms. May for joining the admin team, and to Mrs. Chrisman for suiting up in those "not-so-cool" inflatables! 🦖💨 And to our teachers shaking those pom poms—thank you for bringing the spirit! 🎉🙌
It was a beautiful reminder of our mission: Braves is who we are, RISE is what we do. 💪

¡Atención, agentes! Nuestro evento "Libros Explosivos" comienza la semana que viene. Nos embarcaremos en una misión para construir las bibliotecas en casa de nuestros estudiantes. Sigan los pasos del Mapa del Tesoro que llegará a casa la semana que viene para embarcarse en esta operación y ganar emocionantes premios y libros.
Check out this project from right before winter break! Mrs. Whitten’s first graders used their knowledge of physical properties to transform recyclables into sea-worthy vessels for the Recycle Regatta. ♻️⛵️
Testing buoyancy and exploring materials is exactly how our Braves show Engagement. "Braves is who we are, RISE is what we do!" 💙💪

Our Braves showed up and showed out today! Students who were at school participated in our grade-level AttenDANCE to celebrate being present and ready to learn. What a fun way to kick off 2026! 💃🕺
Check out this adorable selfie Ms. Baynor snapped with Ms. Brearley and Ms. Jackson-Heard’s classes! 📸 We also have to give a shoutout to Aiden Hart for taking Kris Kross seriously—he was getting major air when he JUMP-JUMPED! 👟✈️
A huge thank you to our wonderful resource teachers for making this day such a success!
They sharpened their skills by collecting real-world data and then brought it to life! Students created tally charts, bar graphs, and colorful pictographs to analyze their findings. What a fun, engaging way to master critical math and analysis skills! ✨

Our First Graders put their engineering caps on, diligently building and testing their innovative boats for the Recycle Regatta. 🚢♻️ They're learning all about design, buoyancy, and reusing materials! At the next station, our Third Graders transformed into expert scientists, investigating the fascinating effect of water temperature on dissolving solutions. 🌡️⚗️
What an inspiring week of hands-on science, technology, engineering, and real-world problem-solving! ✨
This week in the library, Ms. Baynor is bringing coding to life! She made sure our students were prepared by teaching them foundational programming skills last week using Code.org.
With that knowledge under their belts, our second-grade stars met Dash the coding bot and did an absolutely amazing job giving him commands and watching their code come to life. ✨ Watching them problem-solve and celebrate their successful programs was incredible!
What an exciting way to celebrate innovation and collaboration!

Mrs. Logsdon's 3rd graders were hands-on investigators in the STEAM Lab last week, exploring the colorful and fun world of mixtures! They experimented with combining different ingredients and observing the changes, learning all about how things come together. 🧠✨
We even got a fantastic, spontaneous assist! Tiffany Nichols from the Science Department was in the building and jumped right in when she saw the science fun happening! We love this kind of team spirit and dedication to supporting our students' learning. Thank you, Tiffany! 🤝
Our amazing Kindergarten scientists were in the STEAM Lab this week, investigating the concepts of force and motion using the super cool Lego Spike Kits! They built Lego Taxis and watched what happens when you give an object a soft or strong push.
A huge shout-out to Tiffany Nichols from the Science Department for visiting our lab and ensuring everything ran smoothly! We love this true team effort in bringing hands-on learning to our youngest innovators. Thank you for helping our students build and explore! ✨🤝
💙🚀 Ms. Roselle's 2nd-grade class took learning out of the classroom this week at the incredible Children's Museum of Portsmouth! Seeing their curiosity ignite in a new environment is what it's all about! 💡🔬 What a fantastic trip for our future innovators! ✨
