🌟 This week, we celebrated students who showed growth on their English Language Proficiency assessment! We are so proud of their hard work, perseverance, and progress throughout the year.

Keep learning, growing, and shining! We wish all of our students and families a wonderful summer! ☀️📚💙

Our 4th graders have been hard at work creating Public Service Announcements (PSAs) as part of Module 4 in EL Education literacy curriculum.

Students researched important topics, developed messages, and designed displays to help educate and inspire others throughout our school. We love seeing their creativity, critical thinking, and leadership shine as they use their voices to make a difference.

Be sure to check out the PSAs posted around the building!

Our 3rd graders had an amazing day exploring at Jester Park! Students enjoyed hiking through the woods, discovering nature, and participating in a pond scavenger hunt led by naturalists from Polk County Conservation. It was a beautiful day full of hands-on learning and adventure that connected perfectly to our EL literacy curriculum unit focused on water!💧🌿☀️
