It was an absolute honor to host our Purple Up! Breakfast, a celebration dedicated to our military-connected students and their families. This event allowed us to recognize the sacrifices these students and families make every day in support of their active-duty parents. The morning was filled with joy as families enjoyed breakfast together, worked on a craft, and watched a video tribute featuring our own students. We concluded the celebration with a high-energy Clap Out, saluting the resilience and service of these incredible children and their family members. We are deeply proud of our military community and grateful for the strength they bring to our school!

What a magical night! North was filled with laughter and music as second grade girls and their dates joined us for our annual Father-Daughter Dance. Between the high-energy games and the crowded dance floor, there was never a dull moment! The highlight of the evening was once again the Teddy Bear Mobile, which remained a massive crowd favorite as the girls created new plush friends to take home. Thank you to everyone who attended and helped make these wonderful memories possible!

Kindergarten students engaged in a hands-on STEM experience using Drawing Robots this week in Tech. After selecting a picture card, the robot generated a starting image, which students then analyzed and expanded into a complete design. Acting as young engineers and designers, students used critical thinking to add details, solve visual problems, and bring meaning to their work, while also exposing them to foundational elements of the engineering design process!

Second grade students recently had an exciting and educational visit from local meteorologist Jon Loufman. His engaging presentation brought science to life as he introduced students to the fascinating world of weather.

During his visit, Mr. Loufman taught students about the atmosphere and how it plays a crucial role in the weather we experience every day. He also introduced several important weather tools, including the thermometer, anemometer, and barometer. Students not only learned how these instruments are used, but also explored the meanings behind their names, helping to deepen their understanding.

One of the highlights of the presentation was a hands-on demonstration showing that air actually has weight. This is something that truly surprised and intrigued the students! With a perfect blend of humor and interactive demonstrations, Mr. Loufman made learning both fun and meaningful. His visit sparked curiosity and excitement, leaving students eager to learn more about the science of weather.

Mrs. Carpenter’s class had a wonderful time celebrating Earth Day while learning how to take care of our planet! Students explored articles to practice comparing and contrasting information, got creative with an energy chain craft, and even planted their own bean plants. To wrap up the celebration, everyone enjoyed a fun and engaging game of Earth Day Bingo!
