Our students have been working so hard on their end-of-the-year assessments, and we love celebrating their growth and accomplishments! One of the special ways our teachers reward students is with visits to our PRIDE Room — a fun space filled with games, activities, and exciting rewards that our students love to earn.

Our PRIDE Room is used to celebrate positive behavior, academic growth, hard work, and outstanding attendance. It’s one of the many ways we encourage and recognize students for making great choices and giving their best effort every day!

Take a look around our PRIDE Room and help us make it even better! We would love your ideas and suggestions for new games, activities, prizes, or fun reward experiences to add. Thank you for supporting our students and helping us continue to create positive and meaningful celebrations for their success!

A huge thank you to Mrs. Perez and our amazing parents for providing a wonderful staff lunch today! 💙 To wrap up Teacher Appreciation Week, our teachers had so much fun celebrating the final day of our underground dress-up week with team-themed outfits! 🏈⚾🏀

We are so thankful for all of our hardworking staff who give their best to our students every single day. A special thank you as well to all of our donors and supporters who helped make this week extra special for our teachers and staff! 🍎✨

Happy Retirement to Mrs. Aguirre! Thank you for your service to our school for the past 8 years! You will be missed!
