Our 1st and 2nd Grade Dual Language students in Mrs. Fairholm’s and Ms. Padilla’s classes had a fun, hands-on experience learning about democracy through mock elections!

🍕 1st Grade students voted for their favorite class reward—a movie or a pizza party!

🍪 2nd Grade students voted for their favorite snack—chocolate chip cookies or potato chips!

Students learned about making informed decisions, casting ballots, counting votes, and tallying results. What a fun and engaging way to learn about the voting process and the importance of every vote! 🇺🇸🗳️

Our students had a GLOW-tastic time celebrating their positive behavior at our Glow-in-the-Dark Party! Students earned this special celebration by collecting Dojo points for demonstrating our school expectations: Being Respectful, Being Responsible, and Being Ready to Learn!

The room was filled with glowing lights, excitement, laughter, and lots of fun! We are so proud of our students for making positive choices and showing what it means to be a shining example in our school community.

Keep making great choices and letting your positive behavior SHINE!

It was a fun-filled day of history, discovery, and unforgettable learning!
