🎶 Bravo to Our 3rd & 4th Grade Band and Orchestra! 🎻🎺
Last night, our talented 3rd and 4th grade musicians took the stage and shined under the direction of Mr. Norton, with the wonderful support of Mrs. Emily Bulman. 🌟
Performing in front of an audience takes courage, dedication, and heart—and our students delivered all three! 💪🎶
A heartfelt thank you to the parents, grandparents, and families who came out to cheer them on. Your support means the world to our young performers! 👏💙

Our Student Advisory Council just participated in their third meeting with Superintendent Mr. Dormer and the Assistant Director of Food Services. It was a fantastic success. This time, our students engaged in meaningful and collaborative conversations about school meals—sharing their honest feedback on what they enjoy, what could be improved, and offering thoughtful recommendations to enhance both breakfast and lunch options.
The students had an amazing time, offering insightful suggestions that reflect their needs and preferences. Their ideas and perspectives will play a crucial role in shaping improvements to our school meal program, ensuring that student voices are at the heart of the decision-making process.
We continue to be inspired by the enthusiasm, leadership, and creativity of our Student Advisory Council. This initiative, led by Mr. Dormer, remains a powerful platform for students to share their perspectives on various school-related topics. Their input is invaluable, and we are excited for the meaningful changes their ideas will bring to our school community.
Stay tuned for more updates as we continue this journey together!
Reminder: tomorrow is early dismissal. Dismissal will begin at 12:20
Our 4th graders met Mr. Rob Downey, the author of Until The Last Dog: A Memoir. Mr. Downey competed in dog sled sports for 40 years, including 20 winters in Alaska. Mr. Downey spoke about the beauty and dangers of the wilderness. It was a great connection to our Wit & Wisdom module about extreme settings and survival. Thank you Mr. Downey for spending time with us!
