Thanks to Ms. Childress for organizing purple ribbon day the past two days. 💜 Military students were encouraged to come add their names to a ribbon and then tie it to the Military Kids Purple Ribbon Tree.

Can we get a round of applause for Coach Ramsey?! 👏🎉 Our Field Day was a blast — full of laughter, teamwork, and unforgettable moments. Swipe to see the smiles and the races that made the past two days so special. 📸✨

Wearing blue in support of World Autism Awareness Day. 💙 #CelebrateDifferences

Fifth graders enjoyed their day at Penderlea Farms for Agriculture Day! Students were introduced to many different topics and hands-on activities. From master gardeners to farming drones and goats, they had an opportunity to learn about the farming community and get a firsthand glimpse into the world of farming and agriculture. 👩🌾🚜










💜One way for us to celebrate the challenges and triumphs of our military-connected children. 🎥🔗https://youtube.com/shorts/WdGx3OvUGis
Ms. DeCicco's 2nd graders rolled question dice (Who, What, Where, When, Why, How) as they read — turning every page into a mini inquiry lesson. Great way to build comprehension and curiosity! 📚🎲


Tomorrow, April 2, is World Autism Awareness Day and we're wearing blue to celebrate our differences and spread awareness of autism. #WorldAutismAwarenessDay #Lightitupblue 💙

Ms. Gruber & Ms. Stewart's 3rd graders also had some fun by having a Math March Madness competition to review math concepts with a heavy focus on fractions. The kids worked as a team to solve problems, shoot hoops for extra points, and a halftime treat. Fun learning all day and a great way to close out March.



Ms. Stewart’s 4th grade class participated in a 4-week March Madness challenge, earning points based on Freckle reading accuracy, completion, and reading log participation! Students worked hard to contribute points to their teams🎉 Great teamwork and dedication!


Bus 288 students have now left campus; they are on bus 256. This bus left campus at around 4:22. We are sorry for the inconvenience!
