Learning is magical when stories bring us together! Today our students enjoyed a wonderful read-aloud of Señorita Mariposa, celebrating language, culture, and the beauty of connection. 🦋📖

We had so much fun with sweets, smiles, and a very special visit from the Spring Bunny! 🐰🍬🌷 Moments like these remind us that reading builds community and joy.

Special thanks to Ms. Ortiz for creating this amazing experience for our students, and to Dr. Moore for reading together with Principal Roque. Your dedication helps our students fall in love with reading every day! 💙

Arts instruction is essential for the growth of our students and the strength of our community. 🎨✨ Through the arts, students build creativity, confidence, discipline, and a powerful voice to express who they are and what they believe. Quality arts education helps our students develop critical thinking skills and inspires them to pursue their passions.

Today, we had the pleasure of recognizing one of the most outstanding art teachers for his dedication to promoting high-quality instruction. Providing lunch in appreciation was a small gesture to thank Mr. Shoales for the incredible work he does every day to motivate our students to grow, challenge themselves, and expand their artistic knowledge. 👏🖌️

We are also very proud of our Mayor’s Art Contest winners! Your creativity and commitment showcase the talent within our school community and inspire others to dream big. 🌟
