This past week, we kept our students on their toes with a little mystery and a LOT of fun for Teacher Underground Week! From unexpected twists to creative moments, it was such a joy to watch students try to guess what was coming next each day. 💚💛

We kicked things off with new Hornet shirts, followed by a super creative Anything BUT a Cup Day, a fun Granimals Mix & Match Day, a throwback Decades Day, and wrapped it all up with an awesome Grade Level Dress-Up!

Thank you to our amazing Hornet Staff for your dedication, passion, and the sweet impact you make in the lives of your students every single day! 🐝

Huge shout out to our Student Council for all of their hard work and dedication this school year! 💚💛

Because of their efforts, we were able to add brand new outdoor picnic tables to our courtyard for students and staff to enjoy. We are so proud of the leadership, teamwork, and school spirit they showed all year long.

Thank you, Student Council, for helping make the Hive an even better place! 🐝
