We had an amazing time today watching the incredible Endangered Animal Presentations by our talented third graders in the Challenge Class! These students have worked hard all year researching and preparing, and it showed—they were confident, creative, and full of wild facts! We are so proud of each and every one of you!
What is 2D, flat and fits together perfectly?…TESSELLATIONS! Mrs. Mendoza’s 5th grade math classes created Tessellations to demonstrate repeated patterns. They worked very hard and showed immense creativity for this project. Here are a few amazing examples!

Our 1st graders stole the show in their spring musical about a group of adorable bunnies on their way to the Bunny Hop! With clever charm, they outwitted a pack of hungry wolves and danced to a happy ending. Thanks to Mrs. Blake for all her hard work and to everyone who helped make the show successful!

Our Elementary Tech Students Are on a Roll—Literally!
All year long, our students have been building their block coding skills, and now they’re putting their knowledge to the test! This week, our 4th and 5th graders have been coding MicroBits and Spheros to complete real-world challenges—from programming a digital name tag to “packing” for summer vacation and even trying their hand at robot bowling!
It’s been incredible to see them problem-solve and control their robots one algorithm at a time. Way to go Bobcats!
Parents- Pajama and/or Hat Day, Friday, April 25th, for $2! All money raised will help purchase LifeVac devices for all district buses! Thank you in advance!

Over the last few weeks, Mrs. Verrett’s 3rd-grade students have been putting their mastery of math facts to the test. Eliminating opponents with speed and accuracy, the top two finalists, Witten Spruell and Logan Gibson, battled head-to-head to claim the overall victory of the Multiplication Madness tournament.
Kindergarten held their annual frog races Friday morning to end their study on Amphibians. (No frogs were harmed and all were released back into their natural habitat shortly after the races)

Mrs. Herrington’s 3rd Grade Challenge Class has been hard at work researching and creating projects on Endangered Animals this year. Today, they had a special opportunity to share their knowledge and present their projects to Mrs. Tran’s 2nd Grade Challenge Class!
It was a wonderful moment of learning, collaboration, and inspiration between grade levels. Great job to all our young conservationists!
