📚 Readers are Leaders!🌟
Some of our older students have been taking a trip down memory lane, reading to their siblings' classes or their own from previous years. It's amazing to see them inspire the next generation of readers! 👏✨
💡 Fun Fact: Reading for just 6 minutes a day can reduce stress by 68%!😌📖
🧹✨ Happy National Custodian Day!✨🧼

Thank you for your hard work and dedication in creating a clean, safe, and welcoming environment for everyone! 🌟

We walked in to 4th grade to see Ms. Taber’s class learning all about lines of symmetry in Math.
This is not an easy concept, but her students were nailing it and ready to show their classmates what they had learned by determining if each letter could be split in half & match up perfectly - with lines of symmetry. 🦓❤️🙌🏽
Great work 4th grade & awesome lesson Ms. Taber!
