K.C. Ling -

Our 1st graders had a moo-velous day on their field trip to the Midland Center for the Arts! They enjoyed a fun performance of Click, Clack, Moo, bringing the beloved story to life right before their eyes. There were lots of laughs, excited faces, and maybe even a few students wondering if farm animals really can type!

After such a big day of learning and fun, the ride home looked a little different… 😴🚌 Some very tired first graders caught a quick nap on the bus after their adventure. What a fantastic day of stories, smiles, and memories!

Our Peer 2 Peer students are rolling out something new… a Snack Cart for staff! 🛒🍿 Students recently took their cart around the building selling snacks to our staff as part of a new fundraiser. This hands-on opportunity helps students practice important life and job skills like communication, handling money, teamwork, and customer service.

It was wonderful to see our students confidently interacting with staff while building real-world skills and having fun along the way. Thank you to our staff for supporting this great new project! We’re so proud of our Peer 2 Peer students!

Sunshine + fresh air = the perfect recipe for smiles! Today’s outdoor recess was full of laughter, running feet, and happy Huskies soaking up every minute of that beautiful sunshine! There’s nothing better than blue skies, fresh air, and friends to make the day even brighter.

Our 4th graders are powering up their learning at the Lockwood STEM Center! Today, on National Simplify Your Life Day, our students discovered that even the most complex technology starts with something simple — a circuit! By connecting wires, batteries, and bulbs, they saw firsthand how a few basic components can work together to create something amazing.

Learning is electric when curiosity leads the way! We love seeing our Huskies problem-solve, collaborate, and bring science to life. 💡

Just a friendly reminder that we have half days coming up soon! Please be sure to plan accordingly for earlier dismissal times and any after-school arrangements.
