We have good news!
Bus 288 morning route will not be 2.5 hours late! A driver has been found! Since she is not familiar with the route or the area, it may run a little slower than usual. Please be patient. This is much better than an 8:30 start time. Thank you!

Alas, the afternoon route will still be 1.5 hours late. Thank you, Sea Turtles! See you tomorrow!

In Ms. Colant's Kindergarten classroom, they've been learning about rules, expectations, and what it means to treat each other like a school family. After reading Our Class is a Family, each student decorated a heart with their name and they all signed one another’s hearts to remind them to keep their class promises throughout the school year.

Labubu wasn't born in a blind box, she came from a book! Before Labubu was a viral toy, she was a storybook monster. She was born in the pages of Kasing Lung's illustrated storybooks. This mischievous little creature was one of many characters in a world inspired by Nordic fairytales - strange forests, mysterious beasts, and a bit of magic and melancholy. Check out some books that Labubu recommends. 📚
