This month our students learned and accomplished so much!

In addition to their daily academic growth, we celebrated several exciting school-wide events. Students participated in ourย Schoolwide Spelling Bee, marked a major milestone with theย 100th Day of School, and continued to reinforce the importance of being present every day through ourย Attendance Mattersย initiative.

We also honoredย Martin Luther King Jr. Day, celebrated student achievement at ourย 2nd Quarter Honor Roll Ceremony, and showed ourย school spiritย during a fun PTA family night atย Boardwalk Bowling Alley. We wrapped up the month withย Literacy Week, highlighting the joy and importance of reading.

It was a month full of learning, celebration, and community!
