💜💛 Happy Nurses Appreciation Day to our incredible school nurse, Danielle Young! 💛💜 Thank you for the care, compassion, and calm you bring to our students and staff every single day. From bandaging scraped knees to offering comfort and support when it’s needed most, you make a difference in countless ways across our school. We are so grateful for all you do—today and every day. Help us show Danielle some appreciation in the comments! 👏💐 #NursesAppreciationDay #ThankYouDanielle #SchoolNurseRockstar

Cinco de Mayo in 4th grade = learning… but make it FUN 🎉🇲🇽 Today, our students dove into the history of Cinco de Mayo while secretly (shhh 🤫) practicing their ELA and math skills. There may have been cards all over the floor, intense “I got it!!” moments, and some very serious negotiations over answers 😄 Safe to say… no one complained about the learning today! These are the days we love—engaged kids, lots of laughs, and learning that doesn’t feel like learning ❤️

There’s just something extra sweet about mornings like these 💕

Our 4th graders loved sharing special time with their moms at Muffins with Mom! From big smiles to lots of laughter (and of course yummy muffins 🍓🧁), it was a moment to slow down and celebrate the incredible women who support, encourage, and love our students every single day.

These are the memories our kids will carry with them long after 4th grade ❤️ Thank you to all the amazing moms and mother figures who made today so special!

The baseball and softball games for tonight are canceled. We will update everyone, if we are able to make these games up.

We are kicking off state testing with confidence, encouragement, and a whole lot of school spirit! From “Score more than 67” to “Clock the tea on the test,” our halls are filled with reminders that our students are prepared and capable of amazing things.

Testing season? Bet. We’re built different. 💪📚

So proud of the hard work, growth, and determination these students have shown all year long—now it’s their time to show what they know! Let’s gooooo! ❤️🔥 #WeBelieveInYouTigers!
