Our 4th grade students are spreading kindness in a big way! This quarter, they will be creating friendship bracelets and heartfelt cards to donate to Phoenix Children's Hospital.

Through this service project, students are learning that even the smallest acts of kindness can make a meaningful difference in someone’s day.

We are so proud of their compassion, creativity, and willingness to give back to others!

💚 Start With Hello! 💚
This week, our students will be learning about the importance of kindness, inclusion, and reaching out to others who may be feeling lonely or left out. The simple act of saying “hello” can make someone feel seen, welcomed, and included.

We encourage you to talk with your child about Start With Hello and ways they can help create a caring and supportive school community. Together, we can make sure everyone feels like they belong! 💚👋

What a great second week of school!

We’re continuing to build our classroom community by getting to know one another, sharing, and growing together. Students are already showing what it means to work as a team by helping, listening, and collaborating so well!

Many classes enjoyed their time in the library, exploring new books and building a love for reading.

So proud of the way our Mustangs are learning and working together!
