It’s been a joy to be part of this staff who works hard and recognizes the positive attributes and unique characteristics of each student. Some of the highlights I’ve been able to witness while I’ve been here includes the Kindergarten Rodeo, 1st grade read-alouds, 2nd grade Mother’s Day Program, 3rd grade circus highlights, 4th grade Wax Museum, 5th grade Rocket Building, the Bike Rodeo, the Honor Choir Concert, Field Day, and the Talent Show.
