Lion Families:
We’ve had a fantastic week filled with engaging experiences for our students! Career Day was a huge success, and our students truly enjoyed learning about the many different career paths available to them. A heartfelt thank you goes out to all the amazing volunteers who took the time to visit and share their knowledge—you made a lasting impression! Take a look at a few pictures from Career Day below—our students were all smiles!
While the Skate Bash has been postponed, we’re working on a new date and will share details with you as soon as they're finalized. Thank you for your patience and understanding!
We were also honored to welcome Col. Flanagan, who came to read to our students in celebration of the Month of the Military Child. We deeply appreciate his visit and the time he spent connecting with our students.
Mark your calendars—Wednesday, April 30 is our final Purple Up! Day. Let’s go all out in purple to show our love and support for our incredible military children!
We’re incredibly proud of our 4th and 5th grade students who were recognized as award recipients this quarter. Your hard work and positive attitudes have not gone unnoticed. A big thank you as well to all the parents who came out to cheer them on—your support means the world to our school community!
Looking ahead, we will begin our ELA summative testing next week for students in grades 3–5. Testing begins promptly at 8:30 AM, so please help ensure your child arrives on time, well-rested, and ready to shine.
With just 6.5 weeks left in the school year, let’s keep the momentum going and finish strong!
