As part of our 21st Century Community Learning Centers (21st CCLC) program, students recently took an active role in caring for our school garden by removing weeds and preparing the space for future planting. This hands-on activity not only helped improve the garden’s appearance and health, but also gave students a meaningful opportunity to learn about responsibility, teamwork, and environmental stewardship. Working together, they demonstrated perseverance and pride in contributing to a shared space. Experiences like these support the program’s goal of enriching students’ learning beyond the classroom while fostering practical life skills and a sense of community.
Hat Day was a success today!
💜 Tomorrow: Wear Purple! 💜
Join us as we wear purple to represent and honor all branches of the military during Month of the Military Child.
Purple symbolizes the combined colors of each military branch — showing unity and support for our military children and families. 🇺🇸
Let's show our support, Cubs! 💜🐾
