💬 Happy National Speech-Language Pathologist Day! 💬
Today we proudly celebrate our three incredible Speech-Language Pathologists: Tara White, Angie Kantner, and Linsey Cone. Their impact reaches every corner of our school—supporting students in developing the critical skills they need to communicate, learn, and succeed. From strengthening language and reading foundations to supporting focus, problem-solving, and social-emotional growth, their work is essential to student achievement.

Here's a few more pictures of Pod F's glow party!

🌺🌴 Aloha from Pod E! 🌴🌺
Pod E had a tropical treat today as they celebrated all of their summer birthdays with a fun-filled luau! 🎉🎂
Happy Birthday to all of our summer kiddos—we hope your birthdays are just as bright and special! 🥳🌺

✨🖤 Pod F had a GLOW-tastic end-of-the-year party! 🖤✨
The room was glowing, the music was going, and the fun was nonstop at our glow party! 🎉💃 But even with all the excitement, the learning didn’t stop!
Students kept their minds shining bright with sight word activities and hands-on STEM fun—because even at a party, we’re still growing and learning! 🌟📚🔬 Then they hit the dance floor and showed off their best moves under the neon lights! 🕺🎶
