This student shared she is thankful for her teacher! We couldn't agree more.
This second grader was caught in act of kindness! Without hesitation, he helped his friend tie her shoes when she was struggling. We love seeing our students live out their CORE values every single day! Way to show CIVILITY, ORDER, RESPECT, and EXCELLENCE!
We are wishing our community a safe, joyful Thanksgiving break. See you on Monday, 29 November!
