Mentoring Program Event
💙 Spreading Smiles Beyond Our School Walls 💙
Mrs. Powers took her two 7th grade classes to Regency today to deliver holiday cards they lovingly created. Some students also made thoughtful “Thinking of You” cards to ensure everyone felt included.
This simple act of kindness brought so many smiles and genuine thank-yous from the residents—we could truly see how much it meant to them. One resident even shared her singing, jumping electronic dog with our students, bringing lots of laughter and joy to the visit! 🐶🎶
Moments like these remind us how powerful kindness and connection can be. We are so proud of our students for spreading joy in our community!

We are proud to celebrate three of our fifth graders who were honored at lunch today for winning the local American Legion U.S. Flag Essay Contest!
Students were introduced to the contest in October during Miss Molayal’s 5th grade social studies class. Those who chose to participate put in extra time and effort at home, completing their essays before Thanksgiving Break.
The essays were thoughtful and meaningful, sharing what the American flag represents to each student. We are incredibly proud of all the students who participated and the hard work they demonstrated—every entry was a wonderful reflection of our school community.
The first place essay will be sent in to be judged with other finalists at the state level.
Please join us in congratulating Riah, Nora, and Zoey on this outstanding achievement!
