Thanks to our PTO for organizing and to all students who helped us meet our Fun Run goal in the fall, students got to enjoy an amazing assembly put on by StuntMasters!
Here is a little more on exactly what students experienced today!
Beyond the thrills, the StuntMasters BMX assembly is designed to inspire and educate. Each performance is interwoven with positive messages about perseverance, hard work, and the importance of staying active. The riders share their personal stories, emphasizing the value of setting goals, overcoming obstacles, and maintaining a positive attitude.

3rd Graders in Mrs. Morgan's class got to celebrate all of their hard work, growth, and learning this year with Camp Learn-a-Lot, complete with tents, sleeping bags, s'mores, spooky stories, a campfire, flashlights and lanterns, and of course lots of laughs and fun! Campers continued their normal weekly learning along with learning some new camping vocabulary, having fun with camping themed Brain Breaks, participating in some camping challenges, and they learned about how to build a campfire. There was also a lot of team building and sharing about camping experiences. It was a great way to start wrapping up this school year!
