🍎❤️💚 Throwback to Johnny Appleseed Day! 💚❤️🍎

We wrapped up last week’s Spirit Week with Johnny Appleseed Day! Our Jags showed their spirit by wearing their best red and green! 🍏🐆

Kindergarten learns about Johnny Appleseed each year while exploring the stories and history surrounding the legendary figure known for planting apple trees across parts of the United States. 🌳🍎

And the learning doesn’t stop there! Kindergarten also brings apples into science as students examine and label the different parts of an apple 🍎🔎 and learn about the apple life cycle—from seed to tree and eventually to a new apple! 🌱🌳🍏

We love seeing our youngest Jags connect literacy, science, and hands-on learning! ❤️💙

Thank you, Jags, for making another Spirit Week so much fun! We loved seeing your creativity, school spirit, and smiles all week long. 🐆✨

Until next time for Spirit Days! ❤️💙

❤️💙

We are so proud of the way these students are leading by example and showing their Jag pride every day! 🌟🐆

Congratulations, September Jags of the Month! Keep shining! ❤️💙

🕺❤️💙 Throwback to Decades Day! 💙❤️🕺

Last Thursday, our Jags took a trip through time and threw it back to their favorite decades! ⏰🎶 From retro looks to iconic styles, our students and staff brought their creativity to a whole new level!

And the best part? Some of our Jags were dressed for decades they weren’t even alive for! 😂📻💿

The creativity throughout our first Spirit Week of the 2026–2027 school year was truly unmatched! From Music Monday to Twin Tuesday, Wacky Wednesday, and Decades Day, our Jags showed us just how much school spirit they have. 🐆✨

Thank you, Jags, for making it such a fun week! ❤️💙

We are absolutely loving the creativity and seeing our Jags have fun with Spirit Week! 🐆✨

📸 And today… we’re going BACK IN TIME! ⏰🎶

🕺💿 DECADES DAY! 💿🕺
Our Jags are dressing like they’ve stepped straight out of their favorite decade! From groovy throwbacks to iconic looks, we have a feeling they are going to bring it ALL today. 😎✨
