Last week, our school hosted a Reading Night with New Worlds Reading! Students enjoyed exploring and selecting new books, while families learned how to register their students for home book delivery so reading can continue beyond the classroom. Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the night a success. We love seeing our school community come together to support a love of reading!

Today, we celebrated Random Acts of Kindness Day by spreading gratitude across our campus. Students passed out thank-you notes and hearts to the adults who help them every day. Classes showed kindness by creating thank-you cards for our amazing custodian, wrote kindness notes for their classmates, designed kindness “ice cream cones” detailing ways they plan to show kindness to others, and gave out cookies to spread joy. We are proud of our students for choosing kindness and making our school a brighter place!
