Have you noticed some shiny new bikes and smiling faces around town? 🚲✨
Our April PBIS drawing brought some BIG excitement as these students rode away with brand new bikes! By earning Thunderbucks for being respectful and responsible, they showed what it means to make positive choices every day—and it paid off in a fun way!
A huge THANK YOU to Global Finishing Solutions for their incredible generosity. Not only did they provide bikes and helmets, but also basketballs, volleyballs, soccer balls, bats, and gloves to reward our students. Your support helps us celebrate and encourage the amazing things our kids are doing! 👏
Way to go, students—keep up the great work! 🎉

They drove the buses.
They kept things in check.
They survived hours of teenage dancing 💃🕺
Safe to say… our chaperones deserve an award 🏆

Our third graders worked so hard and absolutely rocked their very first year of state testing! 🎉 To celebrate, they spent time creating, playing games, and just enjoying being together. “Spoons” was a class favorite—full of laughter, excitement, and a little friendly competition! 🥄
