Thank you to everyone who joined us for Reading Night tonight, even with the rainy weather! 🌧️📚
While we had a small gathering, it was filled with learning and fun. Families enjoyed a delicious Chick-fil-A dinner, learned reading strategies to support their children at home, and explored ways to access grades and test scores. Students had a great time playing games, and every family went home with a new book and a backpack!
We appreciate all who came out. Thank you for partnering with us to support our students' reading growth and success! ❤️📖

🇺🇸 Happy Constitution Day 🇺🇸

Today, Mrs. Thomas’ 3rd grade students celebrated Constitution Day by learning about the importance of the U.S. Constitution and how it helps guide our nation through laws, rights, and responsibilities.

As part of the lesson, students put their civic thinking skills to work by discussing and creating ideas for new laws and rules they would like to see in our school community and across our country. From promoting kindness and respect to encouraging safety and helping others, our young leaders shared thoughtful ideas that reflect the values of good citizenship.

We are proud of our students for engaging in meaningful conversations about leadership, responsibility, and how every voice can make a difference!

Earlier today, our huskies were excited to learn that this year's school production will be Disney's The Little Mermaid, announced by none other than our incredible Music and Chorus Teacher, Mrs. Wilkins!

Little did she know, the spotlight was about to shine on her as well.

During a special live-on-the-air broadcast, we surprised Mrs. Wilkins with the announcement that she has been selected as our Teacher of the Year!

Mrs. Wilkins inspires students every day through music, creativity, and her unwavering belief in their potential. From helping students find their voices on stage to fostering confidence, teamwork, and a love of the arts, she makes a lasting impact on our school community.

It was only fitting that on the day she revealed our journey under the sea, we were able to celebrate the extraordinary educator who helps our students reach for their dreams.

Please join us in congratulating Mrs. Wilkins, our Teacher of the Year!
