Our Sight Word Stars are shining bright!
These kindergarten kiddos worked so hard all year long and mastered their sight, color, and number words! We are so proud of their dedication, confidence, and growth. Keep reaching for the stars, little learners!

Please remind students to write neatly, use kind words, and sign only in designated blank pages. Students who are waiting on a “ship-to-home” yearbook will still be able to participate using matching signature pages. They will be distributed tomorrow to those students.
We look forward to a fun and memorable day!
Due to weather, Friday’s tournament was moved indoors, and while many may have thought that would take away from the excitement, the intensity of the games exceeded all expectations this year!
The semifinal games brought nonstop action, including a little too much hustle from Mrs. Mire, who went a little too hard and ended up injuring herself during the game. Although she was sidelined, her team refused to let her down.
With just 30 seconds left and trailing 4-5, the team made their final defensive out and rushed up to kick. With Rhett Granger at bat, he delivered an unforgettable walk-off home run to tie the game and send the crowd into a frenzy!
Mrs. Mire’s team then advanced to face Mrs. Harrington’s team in the championship game, where they battled hard for their teacher and ultimately came out on top as tournament champions! 🏆
What an incredible display of teamwork, heart, and determination by all of our 5th graders!
If your child will be 4 (Pre-K) or 5 (Kindergarten) on or before September 1, 2026, we encourage you to go ahead and begin the registration process and let us know you’ll be joining us next year. Getting registered early helps us plan and ensures a smooth start for your student on the first day of school, August 12th!
Please see the flyer for required documents and additional information. We can’t wait to welcome our newest Bobcats!

This is the LAST chance to order! The link will close on May 31st.
