From a full-on parade to decorating her office, dressing like her, and creating a special book filled with surprises—our school showed just how much she means to us.
Ms. Reid, thank you for your leadership, your heart, and the joy you bring to our school every single day. We appreciate you more than words can say!

Our students and staff have been working so hard for months to bring this musical to life—and now it’s showtime!
From learning lines and songs to building sets and practicing choreography, so much heart and dedication has gone into every single detail. We would LOVE to see our families and community come out to support them and celebrate all of their hard work.
Let’s fill the seats, cheer them on, and make it a weekend they’ll never forget!
Thank you for always supporting our students and helping them shine! #WalkTheWalk #BreakALeg #TheatreLife

Congratulations to Mrs. Matthews and Mrs. Jones for winning the Sunshine Club’s St. Patrick’s Day treasure hunt.
They tracked down the winning leprechauns… who might look just a little familiar!
Thanks for joining in the fun and bringing some extra luck (and laughs) to our day. Thanks to Sunshine Club for coordinating the shenanigans!

Lucky little learners at work! 🍀
Our PreK friends had a magical St. Paddy’s Day full of hands-on fun! They planted shamrocks and built clever leprechaun traps—just in case one tried to sneak through their classrooms!
No leprechauns caught… yet but lots of giggles, creativity, and a little bit of mischief filled the day!
