Happy Friday!


We’ve made it to the weekend! While today is beautifully sunny, the weather this weekend is cloudy but supposed to warm up, especially on Sunday with a high of 47! 🌞


A quick reminder: after our February family conferences, we will be donating all unclaimed items from our Lost and Found to the Clothing Center. Our Lost and Found is currently overflowing, and trust me, some of these items definitely belong to students in this building (we’re pretty sure there’s an entire wardrobe for a small army of kids in there)! 😅 Please take a moment to swing by and check if anything looks familiar.


We had a fantastic time with the Norwegian dancers on Wednesday, and our outstanding Students of the Month got to celebrate with a special lunch with me (Ms. Conrad) this week!


Wishing you all a wonderful weekend ahead!

💙Erin

What is the Shining Gilly Award?

The Shining Gilly Award recognizes students who go above and beyond to show exceptional care for others or our school. These students exemplify the qualities we strive to nurture in all of our little citizens—kindness, responsibility, and a positive impact on their community. Whether it's an individual or a group of students, those who receive this award truly reflect the values we hold dear at our school.


Congratulations to Nevaeh (3rd), Geronimo (3rd), Oliver (3rd), Austin (5th), and Adam (3rd) 🥳

Families, our Lost and Found is overflowing, and we need your help! Before we donate everything to the Clothing Center after the February family conferences, please take a moment to come by and check if any items belong to your child. We've got everything from jackets to water bottles to mystery socks, and trust us, some of these clothes are definitely from students right here in the building! We need to make room for even more items after the conferences, so please swing by soon to claim anything that’s missing. We’ll be donating everything soon, and we’d love for these items to find their way back home first!
