Our 3rd grade class has a unit on Frogs. They work very hard to complete books on their chosen frog and dioramas showing the frogs habitat, prey and predators.

To help celebrate the children's success at raising money for the PTA through the annual FundRun, children were chosen at random to get to "pie a staff member".

FundRun Reward!

Once a month we honor our Terrific Kids. This is sponsored through our partnership with Kiwanis Club.  A fifth grader is nominated by their teacher to represent one of the habits of a scholar. The child writes a short essay and presents it to parents, community members and staff.

Terrific Kids

Every week we honor our students who have worked extra hard all week on our habits of a scholar. These traits include executive functioning, perseverance, enthusiasm, compassion, and teamwork.
