This week our awesome 3rd grade Teachers set up a fun Texas and Graphic features Surgery lesson! In order to save their patient, students had to work together to find and identify the text and graphic features needed to write its purpose using their booklet. How fun!






Good luck to our 5th Grade Elevate Girls Basketball Team! They will be competing tonight at 6!


Here are the dress-up days for the Great Kindness Challenge next week!
