A special shout out to our masked readers who took the time this morning to have a little fun with our JK-2 students. We hosted our first ever masked reader assembly, it is safe to say it will not be our last.










The Structured Learning Center (SLC) has been a busy place! Each year we incubate eggs but this year we also got baby caterpillars (Painted Ladies). We've gotten to experience something truly special—baby chicks hatching and butterflies emerging!
Talk about a perfect reminder of growth and new beginnings. Our students were able to see firsthand that all living things grow and change in their own time. Whether it’s a chick breaking through its shell or a butterfly emerging from its cocoon/chrysalis, both take patience, effort, and a little bit of struggle before something amazing happens.
We had some great conversations about how we’re all growing too...learning new things, building skills, and becoming who we’re meant to be, even when it feels slow

Sorry for the late notice. The roads are pretty ice packed and snow covered yet in our district. For student safety there will be no school today.

Way to go, 5th Grade!
Our fifth graders absolutely knocked it out of the park this Wednesday during their Living History presentations! After a full month of hard work, they finally got to show off their incredible speeches, handmade boards, creative props and costumes to friends and family. We are so proud of the dedication they showed over the last few weeks. Great job, kids! You should be so proud of yourselves!
