Happy Early 250th Birthday, America! 🎉

The second graders proudly celebrated America’s 250th birthday just a few weeks early! Students spent the past few days learning about the nation’s history. We studied patriotic symbols, created red, white, and blue snacks, and shared what we love most about the United States.

It was a joyful reminder that even our youngest learners are part of America’s story—past, present, and future.

📣 Expert Fair Highlights – What an Incredible Event!

We are proud to share the success of our recent 5th grade Expert Fair! Students took on the role of educators, exploring topics they were passionate about and becoming “experts” in their chosen areas.

Each participant created engaging displays, shared important facts, and confidently taught a lesson to stakeholders. From science and history to technology and math, the variety of topics showcased creativity, curiosity, and hard work.

This event not only built knowledge but also strengthened communication skills and confidence. We are so proud of our students for their dedication and enthusiasm—and we thank our families and community members who came out to support them!

We had an amazing time at Field Day! The participation was incredible, and the smiles, laughter, and togetherness made it truly special. Thank you to everyone who joined us and made it a memorable day!

A big shout-out to our Speech and Language Pathologists (SLP)! We want to show our appreciation for the incredible work our SLPs do to support our students and staff.

We are grateful for Dr. McClellan, Ms. Cooper, and Ms. Carpenter for promoting a collaborative culture to address the needs of students in PreK through 5th grade. They are simply AMAZING!
