🐾 Every step counts when it comes to kindness! 🧡
Today, our students participated in a wonderful Unity Day school-wide activity called "Every Step You Take." 🚶‍♂️✨
Each student wrote down concrete, everyday actions they can take to show kindness on our campus—actions that will ripple out and create a positive impact on our broader community.
To bring it all to life, our students helped tape these "steps of kindness" right onto the hallway floors. 👣 Now, our school pathways are literally paved with compassion, respect, and community spirit!
We can't wait for our district leaders to see this incredible display of student voice and heart during their campus visit tomorrow! 🌟🏫

From milk cartons to campus bird havens! 🍼➡️🐦 Our 1st graders spent the last two days working hard on a hands-on science project to build recycled bird feeders.
Yesterday was all about the paint and creativity. Today, the magic really happened when our awesome 5th-grade students joined the fun! Showing true leadership and teamwork, these older peers helped the 1st graders add the peanut butter, bread, and bird food before hanging them high in the trees.
