Seventies Day yesterday at school was a blast! There were tie dye, bell bottoms, and peace signs galore! Take a look at all these cool cats and kittens. 

Catch you on the flip side!

We are so proud to present this month's Star Students!! Please click the pic to view the slideshow!

Congratulations to all!

Ms. Dixon's fourth graders have been studying the states in social studies. The students researched their chosen state and created a t-shirt as part of their presentation. Take a look at some of the designs. Thank you Ms. Dixon for the fun project idea, and great job fourth grade! 

Last year our school participated in the Great Kindness Challenge and became a kindness certified school! This year, we aim to keep the kindness coming! 

​The Great Kindness Challenge (GKC) is a proactive and positive bullying prevention initiative that improves school climate and increases student engagement. The Great Kindness Challenge - School Edition is one week devoted to performing as many acts of kindness as possible on campus and at home. Using the provided kindness checklist, students accept the challenge and show the world that KINDNESS MATTERS!

This year, because of Covid, the GKC has developed checklists for both students learning on campus and at home. 

Kindness week starts next week, so save the date! 

 ​We are in need of uniform donations. Perhaps you have some that your children have outgrown, and you're looking to clear them out. If you have any of the following, you can drop them off at the school!

Bottoms only: (tops are not needed at this time)
- skirts
- pants
- shorts

We are in need of all size for all grades K-5. We greatly appreciate it! Thank you so much! 

Second graders have been learning how to use coding to program computers. Beginning with block based programming on Code.org, students practiced drag and drop to design a program that allowed an on screen character to complete an activity. This week, they've taken it one step further using ROBOTS!!

Milo, the Science Rover, is a LEGO WeDo robot the second graders have built and practiced programming. So far, they have learned how to get milo to go forward, backward, and stop. They've also explored how using a robot arm with a motion sensor attached can control Milo even more. Check out these future computer scientists and engineers!

Thank you so much to the Darby family for our absolutely perfect mandarin and apple treats. It's good to have a snack that's both tasty and healthy. 

Hey all you groovy kids and cool cats! We are taking it back to the 70s with the January Manners of the Heart reward event. Can you dig it? 

On Friday, January 29, 2021 students who have earned this month's reward are encouraged to boogie down in all your best flower power, peace, and tie dyed attired for 70s day!
(**parents will be notified via ClassTag by the classroom teacher is a student is not able to participate**)
