🌟 Yesterday was House Sorting Day for our NEW Starblazers! 🌟

We are so excited to welcome our newest students into our school family and officially welcome them into their houses! 💫

Inspired by the Ron Clark House System, we use houses to build community, belonging, leadership, teamwork, and positive school spirit.✨

❤️ Ursa
🧡 Leo
💛 Byakko
💚 Aries
💙 Canis

⭐ Our Kindergarten Starblazers stay in the Teal Starblazer House before joining one of our six houses in first grade! 🩵

We can’t wait to see our houses grow, cheer one another on, and show what it means to be a STARblazer this school year! 🌟🩵🌟🩵🌟
