5th grade kicked off D.A.R.E. this afternoon with Officer Taylor! 👮‍♂️
Over the next few weeks, students will learn about making good choices, staying safe, handling peer pressure, and building skills to help them navigate everyday challenges.

Thank you to the Derby Police Department for being long-standing partners in this program! 💙

Last week, Mrs. Molina’s 3rd graders got hands-on with science! 🌱🔎 Students observed plants to identify their similarities and differences while learning more about what makes each plant unique. 🌿💚

**We’re kicking off the year with KINDNESS! 💙🐾**

Our Wildcats had a great time coming together this morning for our first Character Strong assembly of the school year! We introduced our first trait, **Kindness**, and talked about what it looks like to lead with understanding, care, and a kind heart.

What a fun way to start the year! 💙
