📚✨ Read Across America Week! ✨🎩
We’re celebrating Read Across America Week by promoting a love of reading throughout our school! Attached are childhood photos of some of our staff along with some of their favorite books growing up. It’s a great reminder that every reader starts somewhere — and that the joy of reading lasts a lifetime. ❤️📖
🎩 Tuesday’s Elementary Dress-Up Day:
In honor of The Cat in the Hat, students are invited to wear their favorite hat! Tall, silly, sporty, or sparkly — we can’t wait to see all the fun hats around the building.
Let’s make it a great week full of stories, imagination, and a love for reading!

💧Water Party!💧
Mrs. McVay’s final class (Ms. Blinzler’s Homeroom) officially earned their Water Party after completing 300+ Freckle lessons with 100% accuracy! 🎉👏
Freckle is an online program that gives students practice at their individual level in reading and math, helping them grow at their own pace. Their dedication, focus, and hard work truly paid off!
Last week they celebrated in style with Fun Dip, choosing their favorite water flavors, and adding a sweet twist with candy. 🍬🥤
We are so proud of their effort and commitment to doing their very best! 💚📚
Way to go, Eagles! 🦅
