🦁🎉 Safari Party Adventure in Room 004! 🎉🦁

Our kindergarteners had a wild time at the Kinder Safari party!
Check out these adorable photos capturing the excitement and joy of our little explorers. It was a day filled with adventure and unforgettable memories! 📸✨

📆🎉 Countdown to the Last Day in Room 002! 🎉📆

Can you believe it? We’re almost at the finish line! Our Happy Face classroom has been buzzing with excitement as we count down to our last day together. 😄✨

From laughter to learning, every moment has been special! 🥳📚

Field Day is a wrap! 🌞 PreK-4th grades had a blast with the Pirate bouncy house, fishing for prizes, lollipop lucky draw, our 1st ever plush horse derby, freeze pops, snacks, piñatas, and tons of fun. Despite the very hot day, everyone had an amazing time! 🎉🏴‍☠️🏇🍭🌡️

Our 6th graders had a blast at the Attendance Competition! 🎉 Great teamwork and school spirit were on full display. Keep up the fantastic attendance, everyone! 🏆

Day 1 of Field Day was a whirlwind of sugar highs and sunburns for the 5th through 7th graders. We kicked off with some sports, where the only thing more competitive than the soccer games was the race to the snack table. Those snacks? Chef’s kiss. Whoever thought of bringing piñatas deserves a medal—they were a hit (literally), though the teachers probably regretted it after the candy-induced chaos.

Next, we transitioned to water fun, which was basically an excuse for everyone to soak their friends (and occasionally their enemies). By the end of the day, we were drenched, exhausted, and already plotting our strategy for Day 2. In summary: A+ for fun, A+ for snacks, and A+++ for not having to do math.
