Plans for Grandparents and Special Friends Day have been finalized. Our PreK-8th grade students look forward to welcoming our special visitors to school on Friday, October 6. 10:15-11:15 Fun activities in each classroom 11:15-11:40 Snacks/Refreshments in the cafeteria 11:40 Student Dismissal This year, instead of starting our day with our Grandparents/Special Friends, we are going to end the day with them. Why? In previous years, some of our youngest students have struggled with separating from their special visitors at 9:45 upon the conclusion of Grandparents Day activities. By ending the day with our Grandparents, the children will have the opportunity to go home with them which will make for lots of smiles at dismissal time. We know this is different from what has been done in the past. Our goal with this change is to make it a more positive experience for our students while also giving them quality time at school with their Grandparents and Special Friends. We look forward to a building full of loved ones on October 6.

This morning, we had an unexpected visit from one of our youngest superheroes, a third-grade student who came to school wearing a self-made superhero hat! 💥 His sweet innocence served as a reminder that superheroes come in all sizes. Whether young or old, all of us have the potential to use our 'superpowers' to make the world a better place to live. What's your superpower?

Angel for Autism is a non-profit organization that has dedicated itself to making a difference in the lives of individuals and families affected by autism. The organization strives to provide support, resources, and a sense of community to those navigating the complexities of autism spectrum disorder. In fact, Angel for Autism has served as a vital resource for our school community this past year by providing us with 'sensory tools' or 'calming tools' the students use to help regulate their emotions . We are grateful for the support of Angel for Autism and seek to help them in return by sharing this fundraising event with others.
