Our K-Kids are partnering with the Lion's Club for our annual Canned Food Drive! Please consider helping in any way that you can. The graphic details the food goal for each day of this coming week. Thank you!

We are incredibly proud to announce that the 5th Grade Classes clinched the attendance victory last week! They demonstrated an outstanding commitment to learning with a phenomenal combined attendance rate of 98.9%! 🍎📚

That is nearly perfect attendance, 5th grade! Way to show up, be present, and make the most of every lesson.

Let's keep up this fantastic momentum! Who will take the crown next week? 🤔
