Ms. Meghan came and did a lesson last week with the kindergarten students on inclusion and different ways people communicate!
Kindergarten had a special visitor from Cripple Creek Dance Studio today! Jason Aycock, director at the studio, came to give them a hands on lesson in tapping to help deepen their understanding of Rap-a-Tap-Tap. Students enjoyed listening to the rhythm of his taps, relating it to Bojangles (the main character in the story), and even experiencing tap for themselves in the aisles of the cafeteria.

To celebrate the end of Module 1 in Wit & Wisdom, 2nd graders went on a quick "nature walk" around the building to collect some leaves for our activities today. Students have been learning about the change in seasons and how that affects plants and animals. They completed their EOM Task where they wrote about the different changes that happen in fall, so we also did a leaf rubbing collage and talked about the different leaves we have collected.
🌼 Fall mums are here! Purchase yours through our Penderlea Junior Beta Club fundraiser and help us continue serving our school and community. 🍁

🚍 We know the first day of the three-tier schedule brought some challenges, while we continue to work to make improvements there is a free tool that can be helpful for families - the Here Comes the Bus app.
With this free app, parents can:
✅ See their child’s bus location on a map
✅ Get alerts when the bus is near your stop or school
✅ Gain peace of mind with notifications when the bus arrives in your area
The good news is that traffic flow improved by 30 minutes in some areas after adjustments from day one. While we continue to make changes, the Here Comes the Bus app can provide extra confidence and convenience for families.
