Our young scientists took hands-on learning to a whole new level! From exploring the gooey insides to counting seeds and making observations, our students’ faces were full of surprise, curiosity, and pure joy. It's moments like these that remind us how powerful experiential learning can be! Curiosity truly comes alive when little hands and big imaginations get involved! #JustFocusonGrowing

This morning, our dedicated teachers attended a professional development session, immersing themselves in innovative strategies to diversify their instructional practices. Our co-teaching framework not only enriches our students' learning experiences but also empowers our educators to deliver quality instruction. The commitment to excellence is evident as they prepare to inspire and engage EVERY learner in their classroom.

We are proud to announce that our 5th Grade Safety Patrol is officially up and running! These outstanding students are stepping up as role models, helping keep our hallways safe, supporting younger students during arrival and dismissal, and showing what it means to lead with kindness and responsibility! #JustFocusonGrowing

This week, our students showed just how powerful kindness and respect can be! In honor of the Week of Respect, our school came together to create a beautiful Chain of Love and Kindness, each link representing a kind act, a thoughtful word, or a moment of inclusion.#JustFocusonGrowing

Just as the leaves are turning, our students are growing academically, creatively, and socially. Their hard work and imagination are on full display, and our walls are highlighting the energy, efforts, and hard work behind the doors of every classroom! We couldn't be prouder! #JustFocusonGrowing
