Ms. Santiago Most Likely to Be Outshined by Her “Little” Hamster 🐹✨She runs a tight classroom and yearbook club, but at home, the hamster is definitely the one that’s in charge . Don’t worry, Ms. Santiago still gets A+ hugs when she survives hamster cuddle time.

Yearbooks are here. Pre-sale is only $32, so lock yours in before prices go up. You will want proof of moments like this! Last year’s yearbook is $20. There’s a few left, so be quick.

A Friendly (and Slightly Happy 😄) Message from Ms. Doty…

Students, we need your help! Ms. Doty has just two humble wishes:

That your amazing parents/guardians complete the Parent Survey and that they grab a yearbook before they’re gone!

Pre-order yours now for just $32 (exact change) before May 15!

Think of the survey as a way for your family to share their thoughts (and maybe earn some bonus appreciation points 😉). It only takes a few minutes, but it helps our school a LOT.

And the yearbook? That’s your official proof that you did survive this school year. Your future self will thank the present you.

Families can complete the survey here:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd7fw59Kb3qYP_ACLrp7xw2nfh3Cc_w_F1EZg89b8ijl9BSAQ/viewform

You can also find the survey link in our Linktree under our Instagram bio!

So tonight at dinner or while in the car, maybe hit them with a casual:
“Hey… have you filled out that survey yet?”

Or go bold:
“Ms. Doty is counting on us! We need her to end the land of rainbows, skittles, and magical unicorns!”

We appreciate you all—thanks for being the MVPs of reminders!
