April is National Library Month, a time to celebrate the important role our school libraries play in supporting learning, curiosity, and a love of reading. Thank you to our library staff for creating welcoming spaces where students can explore, discover, and grow every day!
"I love watching how much the kids grow and learn throughout the year. Getting hugs is also a bonus working in kindergarten."

We had a blast in music class last week celebrating Black History Month with Nat King Cole and Natalie Cole. We listened to L-O-V-E and This Will Be (Everlasting Love). We played a Valentine’s Day game and glided into the Winter Olympics by watching USA’s own “Quad God” and skating around the music room! Students got to try out our new instruments with the money that was raised during the Mario Madness Competition. Thank you to all who raised funds to help make our specials classes feel extra special and fun!

Did you know.... It's Grant Wood's birthday today!
When you ask your 1st grade teacher if you and some orchestra friends can come put on a concert for you, of course she says yes! And they were amazing!
