We wrapped up the school year with our final PBIS celebration, and what a wonderful year it has been!

Throughout the year, our students consistently demonstrated our PBIS expectations by showing Respect, Responsibility, and Readiness each day. Their positive choices, hard work, and commitment to our school community made this year a great success.

We are incredibly proud of all our students for the way they embraced these values and helped create a positive learning environment for everyone.

A special thank you goes to Andy's Frozen Custard for their generous donation, which helped make our final celebration extra special. We truly appreciate their support of our students and school community.

Congratulations to all of our students on a fantastic year, and thank you for making our PBIS program such a success! We look forward to another great year ahead.

Reading is one of the most important habits students can build because it strengthens imagination, vocabulary, focus, and lifelong learning skills. Mrs. Badger keeps our school library filled with wonderful books that can inspire, entertain, and help students grow in every subject area. Mrs. B keeps kids engaged every week with read-alouds and writing activities that inspire the young minds. Thank you Mrs B, for all that you do!

As summer approaches and routines change, it is important to keep reading regularly to prevent the “summer slide” and keep young minds active. Whether it’s a favorite series, a new adventure story, or books about topics they love, reading even a little each day makes a big difference. Be sure to visit your local library this summer, explore new books, and continue the joy of reading all season long.
