Yesterday, our kindergarteners dazzled us with a heartwarming performance in their Christmas program, "The Little Engine That Saved Christmas." The story follows a determined little train and a cheerful elf as they work together to deliver presents and save Christmas, spreading joy and holiday cheer to everyone.
Thank you to our amazing kindergarten teachers, specials team, and Mrs. Blake for your creativity, dedication, and hard work in bringing this magical program to life. It was a delightful celebration of teamwork, determination, and the spirit of Christmas!

We are thrilled to announce the addition of a brand-new rock wall to our gym, made possible by the generous support of our PTA and the hard work of Mr. Wayne and our dedicated maintenance department, who expertly assembled it! Our students will love this new challenge, and we can’t wait to watch them climb to new heights—literally and figuratively! Thank you to everyone who helped make this amazing addition a reality. We’re looking forward to the adventure ahead!
