🌟 Congratulations to our 3rd–5th grade Integrity Award winners! 🌟

We are so proud of these students for demonstrating integrity each and every day. Integrity means doing the right thing even when no one is watching, being honest, taking responsibility, and showing strong character in the choices they make.

As students grow into the upper elementary grades, integrity becomes even more important. It helps build trust with teachers and classmates, strengthens friendships, and prepares them to become responsible leaders both in school and beyond.

Way to lead by example and shine with integrity—we are proud of you! 💙👏

Today was such a special day for our 5th grade students as they visited Freedom Village to finally meet their pen pals in person! 💙

Throughout the school year, students participated in an intergenerational pen pal program, building meaningful connections through letters, stories, and shared experiences. Today, those friendships came to life as students and residents met face-to-face for the very first time.

There were so many smiles, conversations, laughs, and heartfelt moments shared between generations. We are so proud of our students for the kindness, compassion, and joy they brought to this experience. What a memorable day for everyone involved! ✨

Our 3rd graders had an amazing day at the Outdoor Discovery Center in Holland! 🌿🦉

Students enjoyed a fun and educational field trip exploring nature, learning about local wildlife, and experiencing hands-on outdoor activities. They loved observing birds of prey up close, hiking the beautiful trails, and discovering wetland habitats along the boardwalks.

What a great day of learning, exploring, and making memories together! 💚

Our 2nd graders had an amazing day exploring some of Holland’s historical treasures! 🚌🌷

Students visited the home of Holland’s first doctor, saw the statue of founder A.C. Van Raalte, explored the historic Pillar Church, and toured the beautiful campus of Hope College. One of the highlights of the day was enjoying lunch in the college cafeteria — they had a blast!

What a wonderful opportunity for our students to learn more about the rich history of our community while making special memories together!
