We were delighted to welcome local author Ginny Neil to our school yesterday! She read her newest book, Salamander Song, to students in grades 1 through 6.

Afterwards, Mrs. Neil led a fun and educational habitat and graphing activity with our 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grade classes.

We love having Mrs. Neil with us and are already looking forward to her return next yearβ€”after the release of her next book!

πŸŽ‰ Celebrating Student Success! πŸŽ‰

Yesterday, we held our End-of-the-First-Nine-Weeks Awards Ceremony, and what a wonderful celebration it was! Parents joined us to recognize and cheer on our hardworking students.

We honored students who earned A Honor Roll, A/B Honor Roll, Top AR Readers, Citizenship, and Perfect Attendance. Students in grades 4–6 also received special recognition for their success on last year’s state testing.

We are so proud of all our students and the progress they are making each day. 🌟 Please take a moment to celebrate your student β€” whether they received a certificate or not β€” because they work hard every single day to learn, grow, and do their best!
