Congratulations to our newest Hawk Award recipient, Ashley Smith!
Mrs. Susie passed the Hawk to Ashley, recognizing her for stepping into a new position this year and absolutely “rocking it!” She had big shoes to fill, but she's already proven she is ready for the challenges, excited to learn, and eager for the adventure ahead.
Ashley, we appreciate all you do!

Floating Letters in the STEM Lab!
Third- and fourth-graders explored buoyancy, insolubility, and density with Mrs. Allison as they discovered the science behind floating letters. Now that is an interesting alphabet soup!
We had a magical time at our behavior assembly with Magician Ken Scott!
His show, "The Magic in You," reminded us that each of us has magic when we show good character, make positive choices, and treat others with kindness and respect. What a fun and meaningful experience for our students!
