(2/27) Our Beta Club students showed what service truly means today! They brought in donations and worked together to pack a special thank-you basket for the PEPA workers who helped our community during the recent ice storm. We are so proud of their servant hearts and willingness to give back. Thank you, Beta Club, for making a difference! 🖤💛📦

(2/26) Mrs. Brown’s 3rd grade music classes have been studying about the culture and instruments of China as a part of the World Music unit. They enjoyed touching a real Erhu instrument from the country. The string instrument features two strings mounted on a python-skinned sound box.

(2/25) Last night, we proudly welcomed our newest members into the Beta Club during a special induction ceremony. These students have demonstrated outstanding character, leadership, and academic excellence, and we are so proud of their hard work and dedication.
Congratulations to each of our new Beta Club members—we can’t wait to see all the great things you will accomplish! 💛🖤

(2/24) Our Sock Hop and Shop was a rockin’ success! We want to give a huge thank you to all the wonderful grandparents and family members who came out to shop with our students today. You helped make the day extra special, and it was so much fun seeing everyone join in the sock hop spirit. Because of you, our cool cats made sweet memories and found some groovy new reads! Thank you for making it such a fantastic day! 🎶📚

(2/20) Congratulations to our Mahjong Winners in gifted this week!! Why did we take a week of instructional time to teach a game? First, this is an excellent addition to our unit on China! Secondly, when we play games like Mahjong we are learning reflecting thinking and planning. Students learn problem solving and decision making skills. We practiced logical thinking and emotional intelligence. We also learned cooperation, friendly competition, and how to deal with mistakes! FUN was just the icing on the cake!!

(2/20) Our Sock Hop Book Fair kicks off MONDAY, and we are ready to twist and shout about these rockin’ reads! 🎸📖
Students got a sneak peek at the fair today during previews, and let’s just say… their wish lists are growing fast! 👀✨ There are so many totally cool books they can’t wait to take home.
💛 Don’t forget!
Tuesday is our special Sock Hop & Shop with Grandparents Day! Grandparents (or any special adult) are invited to come shop with their student during activity time. We can’t wait to see those sweet memories being made!
👗👖 And Tuesday is also our Dress-Up Day!
Break out the poodle skirts, saddle shoes, rolled jeans, leather jackets, and slicked-back hair — let’s go all out and make it a day to remember!
This is going to be one fantastically fun week full of books, buddies, and 50s flair!
Let’s rock this Book Fair! 💙📚

(2/19) Congratulations to the following students for receiving positive office referrals this week! Keep up the good work.

(2/18) Ms. McGinn, Ms. Luther’s student teacher, is making learning timely and tons of fun with “Clock Yoga!” 🕒🧘‍♀️
Students are striking poses to match the hands on the clock as they practice telling time — getting their brains and bodies moving while they learn! We love seeing such creative, hands-on learning in action!
