What a wonderful last day of school! ☀️🎉

Students celebrated the end of an amazing year in many different ways. Some enjoyed a picnic lunch with friends, others spent time signing shirts and sharing memories, and many took the opportunity to visit with teachers and staff before heading off for summer vacation.

We even had a special visitor stop by—one of the kindergarten baby chicks! Although it's definitely not a baby chick anymore, students loved seeing how much it has grown since hatching earlier this year.

It was a day filled with laughter, friendship, and reflection on all that was accomplished this year. Thank you to our students, families, teachers, and staff for making this such a successful and memorable school year.

Have a safe, fun, and relaxing summer! We can't wait to see everyone again next year!

A huge THANK YOU to HNI Corporation for their generous book donation through their Community Connection Project! 📚❤️
HNI Corporation
Because of their kindness, every student in grades K–6 had the opportunity to choose and take home books of their own. Seeing the excitement on our students’ faces as they picked out their books was truly special!

We are so grateful for community partners like HNI who support learning, literacy, and our students.
Thank you for helping inspire a love of reading!

Our 2nd graders had a sweet surprise this week! 🍩🚓

Our 2nd-grade students won a special “Donuts with the Sheriffs” experience through a parent drawing, and they got to enjoy donuts and spend time with some amazing local sheriffs! The students loved visiting, asking questions, and sharing lots of smiles.

Thank you to our sheriffs for taking the time to connect with our students and make this such a memorable morning!
