🦋 Our science experts are back at it! 2nd graders tackled the Great Southeast Pollinator Census with the helpful assistance of our 5th graders, who were also observing constructive and destructive forces. 👏
Science in action! ⚡️🐝 Mrs. Fleck’s class used their knowledge of static electricity to teach Dr. Smith’s students how pollinators carry pollen from plant to plant. We love seeing student-led learning across classrooms!

Huge shoutout to our amazing 5th graders! 👏🏼
Through hard work, creativity, and positive choices, these students earned the exciting opportunity to design and create their very own t-shirts or hat! From brainstorming ideas to showing off their unique styles, they truly rose to the challenge.
We’re so proud of the effort, positive attitude, and school spirit they showed along the way. We can’t wait to see they do in the future! 🌟
Earlier this week, our 3rd graders had an amazing time during our Jamboree! 🎉
We are so thankful for the incredible community partners and friends who came out to make this experience fun, informative, and memorable for our students. 😊
