Shoutout to our fifth graders for kicking off their spring state test today! Huge thanks to our teachers for their preparation and to our students for their hard work and focus. Keep up the great effort!


This morning, our teachers pulled a little prank on their students by doing a teacher swap to kick off the day! Students walked into class expecting their usual teacher but were surprised to find a different friendly face leading the lesson. Lots of laughs, learning, and a great way to start the day with some fun!





Our buddy classes have been spreading kindness one shamrock at a time! Students have been writing uplifting messages to create a beautiful rainbow of positivity. ☘️🌈











Have your children been asking if there teachers have gone crazy!? That’s because our teachers have been having a little too much fun with Underground Spirit Week! From secret themes to surprise outfits, we’ve been keeping the energy high before spring break. Who knew teachers could be this unpredictable?




Join us in celebrating World Down Syndrome Day on Friday, March 21, by wearing your most fun and crazy socks! Students and staff are encouraged to show off their unique socks as we honor and celebrate our amazing friends. Let’s rock our socks together!
