⛺️📚 Camp vibes at school!
Our 2nd graders enjoyed Camp-Read-A-Lot while kindergarten had their own camping days! Students made tents to work under, read books with flashlights, and even gathered around pretend campfires.🔥
We love making learning fun—and let’s be honest, we’ll take any excuse to wear our pajamas! 😄
Last week!

🥣 Cereal Box Challenge Success! 🥣
Last week, our students collected over 1,000 boxes of cereal to donate to local food pantries! To celebrate, we lined the hallways with all the boxes and created an epic cereal box domino run that the students got to watch topple in action — it was amazing!
A huge thank you to all the parents and students who donated and helped make a difference in our community. What a fun and meaningful way to give back! 💛👏

🥣 Cereal Box Challenge! 🥣
Our school is collecting unopened cereal boxes to donate to two local food pantries — and we’re turning it into a fun competition! Each class is racing to collect the most boxes, and the winning class will earn a class party! 🎉
Before we donate, we’ll be using all the boxes to build a huge cereal box domino maze for students to watch topple over — it’s going to be epic! 🙌
Let’s make a difference and have some fun doing it! 💛
Keep those cereal boxes coming in! 🥣

This year we have started something new! Each class has been paired up with another class in a different grade. Throughout the year the students will read books, complete worksheets, and participate in classroom activities together. We’re loving the new friendships and partnerships that are forming. Seeing students connect across grade levels is truly special!
🚒🔥 Our 1st and 3rd graders had some special visitors this week! Local firefighters Lyle Wingard and Chris Lord stopped by to teach students all about fire safety. The kids learned important tips, saw some demonstrations, and got a close-up look at the gear firefighters use to stay safe. A big thank you to Lyle and Chris for taking the time to share their knowledge and keep our students informed and safe! 👩🚒👨🚒

Our kindergarteners had the best time on their field trip to Knollbrook Farms last Tuesday! 🎃 They learned how pumpkins grow, met some friendly farm animals, and enjoyed a fun hayride. The kids also got to slingshot little pumpkins into a pond, explore the haybale maze, and play in the different kids’ activity areas. There was so much to do, and the students loved every minute of it on such a beautiful day! 🍂 Every student and parent even got to take home a pumpkin!
A big thank you to the wonderful folks at Knollbrook Farms, as well as the teachers and parents who helped out with our kiddos!🧡

Our 1st graders wrapped up their unit on the human body in the best way possible—with Operation Day! 🩺✨ After learning all about the different body systems, students celebrated with hands-on “surgery” activities. From practicing their skills to exploring what they’ve learned, the day was full of excitement, laughter, and learning. What a fun way to end the unit!
Reminder: there is no school for students on Monday, September 29, due to a Professional Development day for staff. We will return to school on Tuesday, September 30, with our normal Tuesday start times. Have a great weekend!
