Celebrating creativity at our assembly on Friday honoring our Young Authors and Illustrators! ✍️📚
Our students continue to amaze us with their imagination, voice, and courage to share their stories. One of the highlights of the celebration was when several staff members brought one student’s submission to life with a fun skit inspired by her writing. Seeing a story jump off the page and onto the stage was such a special moment! 🎭
Moments like these remind us how powerful student voices are and how important it is to nurture their creativity. We are so proud of all of our young authors for their hard work and willingness to share their ideas with the world.
For one of their Throwback Thursday Challenges, students in Mrs. Milroy’s 6th grade class worked together in teams to build the tallest structure they could using only 10 sheets of paper, 10 pieces of tape, and 4 straws! 📄📏
This hands-on activity challenged students to think creatively, problem-solve, and collaborate with their teammates. We saw some impressive designs and great teamwork throughout the challenge! 👏
Our Glow Party theme lit up the night with music, neon colors, and lots of dancing. The photos may be a little dark and blurry, but that just means the glow lights were working and the dance floor was full!
Most importantly, our students had a fantastic time celebrating together and making great memories. 🌟
Their creativity and research brought ancient history to life as they shared key facts, visuals, and insights about the civilizations that flourished along the Nile River. Great job showcasing your knowledge and teamwork! 👏🌍
Miss Cassidy's 4th grade class has been focusing on what it means to work together and support one another. Through class discussions, group work, and lots of fun activities, students have been practicing their teamwork skills every day!
We’ve challenged ourselves with Silent Ball, worked together to untangle a human knot, and put our teamwork to the test with cup stacking challenges. 🎯 These activities helped us practice communication, patience, and problem-solving—all while having a lot of fun! We’re excited to keep building our cooperation skills throughout the month.

To make the day even more magical, we dimmed the lights and read together using book lights, turning our classroom into a cozy reading space where imaginations could shine. 🔦📚
So proud of these readers for embracing stories, sharing laughter, and celebrating the joy of books! ❤️

These students have demonstrated truthfulness in both the hard moments and the good ones. Whether it’s admitting a mistake or standing firm in doing what’s right, they show us that honesty matters at all times. 🗣️
We are so proud of the way they choose to say the truthful thing — even when it isn’t easy. Thank you to our families and staff for helping us grow students who lead with honesty and heart. Congratulations to our amazing winners! 🌟
Students experienced some amazing exhibits, engaging displays, and interactive learning that brought classroom concepts to life. Field trips like this spark curiosity, deepen understanding, and create memories that last far beyond the school day. ✨
This engaging lesson was thoughtfully planned and taught by the amazing Sarah Mayfield, who guided students in understanding how art and math come together to create powerful visual storytelling. 👏🖌️

✨📚 Discovering the Power of a Name 📚✨
Our 4th grade students in Mrs. Johnston's room recently dove into a meaningful name research project inspired by the character Esperanza in Esperanza Rising. After exploring how Esperanza’s name shaped her identity and story, students turned the spotlight on themselves!
They researched the origins, meanings, and stories behind their own names — uncovering family connections, cultural roots, and personal significance. 🌎💛 It was powerful to see students make text-to-self connections and recognize that every name carries history, identity, and a story worth telling.
We love bringing literature to life in ways that help students better understand themselves and each other! ✨

🎨✨ Renaissance magic in the making! ✨🎨
Our 5th grade artists in Miss Collins' room took a trip back to the 1500s as they recreated scenes inspired by the legendary ceiling of the Sistine Chapel! 🖌️Just like Michelangelo, students explored the techniques, challenges, and creativity behind fresco painting while lying beneath their “ceilings” to bring their masterpieces to life. Talk about dedication! 💪🎨
This hands-on project brought our Renaissance unit to life—blending history, art, and a whole lot of imagination. We are so proud of their creativity and hard work! 👏

Each student chose their own heart design, decorated it with creativity and care, and then selected words they love about themselves to proudly display on the front. From “kind” and “brave” to “creative” and “strong,” their hearts were shining with confidence and self-love!
It was such a meaningful way to celebrate the importance of positive self-talk and recognizing all the wonderful qualities that make each student unique. 💕✨ We are so proud of our 4th graders for embracing who they are and spreading kindness from the inside out! #HeartAffirmations #4thGradeShines #SelfLove #ClassroomCommunity
