We would like to extend our congratulations to our youngest Sharks who have graduated from PreK. You have demonstrated significant growth and your curiosity, creativity, and joy are truly inspiring. We look forward to seeing you build on this momentum in kindergarten.

If you had a PreK graduate today, we would love to see your pictures in the comments!

On Wednesday, the 5th-grade end-of-year banquet marked a significant milestone. Today, we saw our students off as they transition to middle school. We offer our best wishes for their future, knowing that Once a Shark, always a Shark! We also had the privilege of welcoming back alumni who are graduating as the class of 2026. Seeing them return to inspire our students was truly uplifting. Boundless opportunities lie ahead.

You’re not alone. Free, 24/7 help is available.

🌟 Celebrating Our 3rd–5th Grade Superstars! 🌟

We are SO proud of the incredible hard work our 3rd–5th grade students showed this month during end-of-year state testing! Their focus, perseverance, and determination truly shined, and it was amazing to see them rise to the challenge. 💪📚

Last Friday, we celebrated students who met their individual goals with a well-deserved 30-minute recess filled with bubbles and a dance party! 🫧💃 Students who surpassed their goals (and made a bucket-level jump!) also enjoyed ice cream sandwiches with toppings—a sweet reward for their outstanding achievement! 🍦✨

And today… the fun continued in a BIG way! Students who earned a Level 4 or Level 5 in Reading, Math, or Science got the chance to pie Mrs. Bryner, Ms. Smith, or Mr. Alfano! 🥧😄
Drumroll please… 🥁�A total of 253 pies were thrown today! 🤣👏

We couldn’t be more proud of our students’ growth and effort. Thank you to our teachers, staff, and families for supporting our Sharks every step of the way.

🦈 This is what hard work, goal-setting, and celebrating success looks like! 🦈
