After a busy week, we are already off to an AMAZING start with our Kids Heart Challenge! ❤️

As of Friday after school, 14 students have signed up, and we have raised almost $190 toward our $1,500 goal! That is fantastic momentum, and we are just getting started!

Student names will be announced on Monday morning, and Ms. Carpenter will deliver prizes straight to classrooms! 🏆✨

On Friday, February 13, we hosted a Top Secret Event for all students who were in attendance! 🤫✨🦅

Students worked on glow artwork that will be displayed during our upcoming Glow STEAM Event on February 26. Each grade level was assigned a different decoration project, but every piece was created using glow paint under glow lights. 🎨💡

It was an enjoyable and neato, peaceful, far out, groovy, rad, fly, sweet time for everyone! 😎🌟

It’s almost time for one of our favorite traditions — the Mid-Year Diagnostic Growth Glow Dance! ✨

Our students are working hard, showing incredible growth, and getting ready to light up the dance floor at the end of February!

We are collecting snap-and-glow BRACELETS ONLY, and we need your help! Last year, students earned an amazing 3,073 bracelets — and we’re aiming to GLOW even bigger this year!

We are still tallying exactly how many bracelets we’ll need, but we already know one thing for sure… we need more! The more growth our students show, the more bracelets they earn — and we want to be ready to celebrate BIG!

Please drop off donations in the front office anytime between now and February 20th.

Thank you for helping us make this celebration bright, exciting, and full of school spirit! 💛💙 Let’s make it our most glowing year yet!

Good morning! Tomorrow will mark our 100th day of school! Classrooms might have a special day planned and students may dress in a manner to celebrate the day. Some classrooms might be having a Valentine party on Friday; that is determined by each teacher specifically, so reach out to them if you would like to know if a party is being held for your child's class. There are guidelines as to what can be brought so be sure to communicate with the teacher. Special thanks to our PTO for selling roses with a special gram attached!
