Field Day was the perfect way to wrap up our last Friday of the school year! ☀️🎉

Students had so much fun participating in games, relays, team challenges, and enjoying the mobile basketball arcade trailer with their classmates and teachers throughout the day. There was lots of laughter, dancing, school spirit, friendly competition, and so many smiles all around!

Again we’d like to say thank you to all of the staff, volunteers, and families who helped make the day such a success. We also want to give a special shoutout to Hoop Basketball West Lafayette for bringing the basketball arcade trailer. It was definitely an all-around favorite! 🏀

We loved seeing our students enjoy every moment and finish the school year with so much fun and excitement! 🦊🧡🩵

As the school year comes to a close, we want to take a moment to thank all of our students, families, staff, volunteers, and supporters for an amazing year! ✨

From Fall Carnival and Dance-a-Thon to Honor Roll celebrations, Teacher Appreciation, and Donuts with Grownups, none of these special moments would have been possible without your support.

Thank you for helping us build fun memories and a strong school community. We can’t wait for another great year ahead! 💙🦊

**Please share your last day of school pics with us.**

Throughout the school year, our PTO loved celebrating the hard work and achievements of our Honor Roll students! ⭐

Students were recognized with several fun celebrations throughout the year including an ice cream sundae bar, donuts & milk, popcorn & candy, and a Kona Ice treat day. We are so proud of all the students who worked hard to achieve this accomplishment!

A huge thank you to our families, staff, volunteers and supporters who help make these special celebrations possible. We love finding ways to recognize our students and celebrate their success throughout the year. 💙🦊

Congratulations again to all of our Honor Roll students — keep up the great work!

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who came out for Donuts with Grownups! 🍩✨

It was so fun getting to see students and their families spend time together while enjoying donuts, drinks, and good conversation before the school day started. On one of the days, students also got to enjoy Lunch on the Lawn with their families and loved ones, making even more sweet memories together at school. 🥪

Events like these are such a great way to bring our school community together and create special moments for our students. We loved seeing so many happy faces throughout the day!

We’re also incredibly lucky to have a principal who’s always willing to jump in and help wherever needed, whether it was mopping up spilled drinks during Donuts with Grownups or driving the golf cart to help transport family members from the parking lot during Lunch on the Lawn. Moments like these really show the care, teamwork, and support that make our school community so special. 🦊🩵🧡

Thank you to all the families, staff, and volunteers who helped make both events such a success, and thank you for continuing to support our PTO and school all year long.

🌮 A delicious taco & nacho bar catered by Norma Rodriguez from Dan Patch Cafe & Tastee Treet
🍔 A cookout lunch provided by school administration
🍎 An apple nacho bar and freshly popped popcorn
🍪Grab-and-go snacks made possible through generous parent donations

We are so grateful for the dedication, patience, kindness, and hard work our teachers and staff show every single day. Thank you for everything you do to help our students learn, grow, and succeed! 💙🦊

A huge thank you as well to all of the families, volunteers, and local businesses who donated items, helped organize, or supported Teacher Appreciation Week in any way. Your generosity helped make the week extra special for our staff!
