Principal Ryan has been making his way around both the ELC and the Elementary to do a read aloud with students before winter break!

Congratulations to our last group of Caring Comets in 2022! We can't wait to see who our Caring Comets will be in 2023! Keep up the great work!

Yesterday our fifth graders shared books and letters with our first graders encouraging reading. It was a wonderful experience for all!


Fifth and sixth grade students have been learning about depth and perspective in art, and are finishing their snowglobes this week!




Winter break has officially begun! Classes will resume on Wednesday January 4th!

Eighth grade students create topographic maps which use elevation contour lines to show the shape of the Earth's surface.
Ceramics 2 students partnered up and threw clay blind folded to help them FEEL what the clay is doing. Their partner talked them through it!



We are so thankful for our partnership with Vision to Learn! Today they brought glasses for 97 Middle School students as a follow up to the eye exams they conducted earlier this year. We can not wait to see the positive impact this has on learning!


It was an exciting afternoon for Kindergartners, they traveled to the High School to perform in the auditorium for family and friends! They were spreading holiday cheer by "singing loud for all to hear!" - Buddy the Elf
