Our second graders are leading with heart! 💛🐾 They selected CRISP as their organization for this year’s grade-level coin challenge. Students have been visiting local businesses and connecting with community members to raise awareness and support for families in need. #wintersethuskypride

🎨 Van Gogh in Motion!
Our Kindergarten through 3rd grade students invite you to a one-of-a-kind art experience! Inspired by Vincent van Gogh’s expressive color and bold brushwork, students have explored how art can move—literally!

💫 From computer animation and optical illusions to kinetic and motorized creations, their pieces capture balance, rhythm, and emotion in motion.

🗓 When: October 16 & 21, 4–7 PM
📍 Where: Elementary Rooms 200 & 204
Come celebrate the energy, creativity, and color that make our young artists shine! 💛💙

Reminder: Elementary Picture Retakes will take place this Thursday, October 16th. Be sure to sign up with Jostens if you would like a new photo of your student.

Our preschoolers are learning about trees. All students took a fall walk last week to look at different trees around our school. They identified the trunk, bark, roots, leaves and saplings.
