Thank you, Mosaic Community Dental, for taking such good care of our students' teeth! They did dental screenings for each registered child and cleanings, sealants and x-rays for those who needed them. They also sent each child home with a new toothbrush, paste, timer and sticker!

2nd Grade made homemade apple sauce today! From the looks on these faces it was a big success! 🍎😋
Our first graders have been busy becoming little scientists! 🔬🐾
They've been learning about offspring and trait variation and explored how baby animals inherit traits from their parents, but don’t always look exactly alike!
Our young scientists had so much fun thinking like real scientists as they observed different animal traits and predicted what animal babies might look like by finding for patterns! 🐣🐶
🔢✨ Our 1st graders have been working hard this week learning their doubles facts! ✨🔢
They've been practicing, building their math skills, and learning strategies to become more confident mathematicians! 🧠➕
Keep up the great work, first graders! You’re doing amazing things!
PreK is the ultimate time to explore, wonder, and grow!

💯 Our PreK and Kindergarten classes sure got a lesson on colors during this spirit week! Look at them rocking their neons and "blurple"! 💛💙💜💙🧡
🏡 Our very own Miss Sandy had a special visit this week! The Prek, Kindergarten and 1st grade music classes took a nature walk up town to wish her well!
Get back on your feet soon, Miss Sandy! These Blue Jays miss you! 🫶
This week our 4th graders took a unique voyage to the center of the earth with the REV Theater Production Crew! They became great explorers, learning about cave acoustics, navigational tools, underground seas and so much more with this skit!
