Third graders cash in on good behavior at the Rocket Shop! We are consistently having to replenish our supply, which is exciting. Please contact the office if you are interested in donating to the Rocket Shop.

Students and staff pay homage to decades of the past on Throwback Tuesday!
Our curriculum promotes the habits of strong character. 4th grade students built towers using marshmallows and toothpicks. Students practiced teamwork, compromise, communication, and problem solving. The tallest free-standing tower was 7 1/4”!
Mindfulness helps our students remain aware of their thoughts and feelings so their minds can fully attend to what's happening in the learning environment. Kindergarteners use stuffed animals for conscious breathing!
What a Marvelous Monday to kick off spirit week! Looking forward to Throwback Tuesday!
