A huge shoutout to the incredibly talented 4th and 5th graders of Western Branch Intermediate! You all absolutely shined on stage! Every moment reflected your hard work and dedication.
A very special thank you to our wonderful music teacher, Mrs. Francis, for her leadership, creativity, and dedication in bringing this production to life. Your passion and commitment to your students truly showed in every detail of the performance!
It’s clear how much time and effort went into this performance, and it truly paid off. You made your families, teachers, and school community so proud!

Mrs. Harrell’s and Ms. Nixon’s classes had a magical day full of fun, laughter, and a little bit of leprechaun mischief! 🌈

Shoutout to our incredible staff who turned a colossal rainstorm into a masterclass in teamwork. They were directing traffic like pros, dodging puddles like athletes, and somehow keeping smiles through it all. We’re pretty sure a few of you now qualify for lifeguard certification.
Thank you for going above and beyond to make sure every student got home safely (and only slightly soggy)! You all were absolute heroes in rain boots! 💙
