Today our 6th graders heard from some outstanding high school students about the value of getting involved in activities!
Drew, Adisyn, Ava, Valeria, Soraya, and Vanessa shared their experiences and talked about the many benefits they have gained through participation, including friendships, confidence, leadership, and a stronger connection to school.
Thank you to these student leaders for encouraging our soon-to-be 7th graders to step outside their comfort zones and give something new a try! We are excited to see how this group gets involved next year.

Our 2nd grade ELD classes are diving into science as they learn about the digestive system!
Students are exploring the steps of the digestion process and practicing how to explain each stage using new vocabulary and speaking skills. It’s exciting to see them connect science and language learning in such a hands-on way!

Yesterday, in 1st Grade SEL (Social Emotional Learning), students participated in another great collaboration and problem-solving activity! Using straws, students worked together in small groups and then as one large group to connect with each other, stand up, and move around the room as a team.
It was a fun challenge that encouraged teamwork, communication, and creative thinking! Followed by some great discussion and reflection!

It’s hard to believe that April has come and gone and the cafe has headed into its last month of the school year! ☀️
This last month, the cafe had a special visitor from Miss Pauling! Our students were so excited to have our student teacher back from last year to share the day with! 🫶🏼
The staff finished out their year with a piña colada smoothie and cold brew whereas the students enjoyed Easter Punch topped with a fun marshmallow treat! 🐥
