Mrs. Gendron and Mrs. McElroy knew that a little sunshine and a little sidewalk chalk would make a BIG difference in practicing math! Their classes got outside to practice multi-digit multiplication and division. Wish them luck on their test next week!

We are so proud of our After-School Pickleball Club! 🏓

Our students showed us that it’s not just about how you play the game—it’s also about how you treat others while you play it! We saw some fantastic play, great sportsmanship, lots of encouragement, and some pretty big smiles along the way. It was so much fun to watch our students compete, have fun, and support one another on the court!

A HUGE thank you to Freedom Fitness for allowing us to use your awesome facility. We are so grateful for community partners who help provide our students with opportunities to learn, grow, and try something new!

And a special shoutout to Mr. Doug Brown for always being willing to promote pickleball and encourage our students to get involved. Your support of this growing sport is greatly appreciated!

We love seeing our students get active, build friendships, learn new skills, and have fun together. Way to go, Pickleball Club! ❤️🖤🏓

A huge shout out to Mrs. Sherry Ford
and Mrs. Diana Roethemeyer for making this all happen!

1st place 🥇-Myles Biri and Michael Goldsmith
2nd place 🥈- Will Rainey and Caleb Driskell
3rd place 🥉- Jayce Cunningham and Kate Obergoenner
