ROAR Store — Round 2! 🐯💛

Last year, our school community showed up in such a BIG way to help us launch our ROAR Store, and we are still so incredibly grateful! 🥹💛

Because of your generosity, our students were able to experience the excitement of earning ROAR Cards, making positive choices, and then getting to “shop” at our very own ROAR Store. It was such a fun way to celebrate the amazing things our students do every day!

Now, we’re getting ready for another year of ROAR Store fun, and we’re asking for your help again! 🐯

We would love to replenish our store with fun prizes and surprises for our students. If you’re able, consider purchasing an item (or two!) from our Amazon Wishlist. Every single donation, big or small, helps us make the ROAR Store a place our students look forward to visiting.

Thank you for believing in our students, supporting our school, and helping us build a positive school community. We truly couldn’t do this without you! 💛🐯

Thank you for helping our Tigers ROAR! 🐯💛

🏁🎉 **The Annual Staff Inflatable Race did NOT disappoint!** 🎉🏁

What started with **10 brave (and slightly ridiculous 😆) competitors** quickly turned into one of the most entertaining events of the year!

🐯 Tiger (Ms. Lacey)
🦛 Hippo "Wiggle Bottom" (Ms. Hana)
🤡 Clown (Mr. Schmitz)
🦈 Pink Shark (Ms. Felisha)
🐄 Cow (Mrs. Santjer)
🦈 Blue Shark (Ms. Giere)
🦄 Unicorn (Mrs. Pantovich)
🦖 Dinosaur (Mr. Sam)
🐷 Pig (Mrs. Hart)
🦈 Grey Shark (Mrs. Block)

The speed. The determination. The wobbling. The unexpected athleticism. 🤣💨

After two action-packed heats and some fierce competition, one inflatable rose above the rest...

🏆👑 **YOUR 2026 STAFF INFLATABLE RACE CHAMPION: WIGGLE BOTTOM THE HIPPO (Ms. Hana)!** 👑🏆

🦛💃 Wiggle Bottom wiggled, bounced, and hustled her way to victory, earning eternal bragging rights (at least until next year 😉).

🎥 Check out the race videos below and relive all the laughs, near wipeouts, dramatic finishes, and inflatable glory!

🦛🏁🎉🤣
