We are so proud of all they’ve learned, the memories made, and the way they’ve grown this year. What a sweet way to celebrate an amazing kindergarten year! ✨🎓







What an amazing week of kickball for our 3rd grade girls! Watching their teamwork and encouragement throughout the tournament made us so proud!
Congratulations to the PANTHERS for an exciting championship win in a nail biting, one run game! What a finish!
We also want to give a very special thank you to three boys who stepped up as our AWESOME base coaches. We couldn't have done it without you! Also thank you to Coach Russell for allowing us to use the new gym to play since the weather was not in our favor. Rain or shine: we play kickball!

Our 3rd graders proudly shared their amazing writing pieces with family and friends at our special Authors' Tea Celebration! This event showcases their creativity, hard work, and growth as young authors!










We are so grateful for Alison and Ashley! From bandaging scraped knees to offering comfort in times of need, we appreciate how they serve our school so that our students can learn in a safe and healthy environment!

📚✨ Here’s a couple of our Librarian of the Day VIP experiences won from the Buckalew Bash Auction!
