On Wednesday, April 9th we had a STAAR pep rally to get our 3rd-5th grade students pumped for STAAR! I think it's safe to say we all had a great time!
We LOVE our librarian, Ms. Jaime Garcia! We are beyond grateful for her and everything she does for our school! Librarian's day was last week but she was at a conference getting more fun ideas to teach our students. Thank you for everything you do!
We are very grateful for Chesmar Homes! The pizza they donated was perfect timing! If you are in the market looking for a home, check them out!

Ms. Ngo always has a smile on her face and makes great relationships with our students. We are truly appreciate her always going above and beyond her job duties.

When anyone enters your classroom, they are able to see the love the students have for you. You are an amazing team player that is always willing to go above and beyond to help.

Today is School Librarian Appreciation Day!
These educators do more than provide access to books—they foster a love for reading and empower students to explore both history and the world around them!

Mrs. Barletta's first graders wrote to LEGOs and Mattel during their correspondence unit and received responses from them this week.
This month's Character Strong trait is Cooperation! Our second-grade students read The Concrete Garden by Bobbie Kalman is a children's book that focuses on the theme of cooperation and community. The story centers around a girl who takes a box of chalk and begins drawing a map on the sidewalk. The map eventually becomes a plan for a garden in the middle of a city, and as the story progresses, different people in the neighborhood come together to contribute and help transform the concrete space into a beautiful, thriving garden. The book highlights the importance of teamwork, creativity, and the positive impact that cooperation can have on a community. Inspired by the book, our students worked together to design and build our very own Concrete Garden, bringing teamwork and creativity to life.
2nd grade had so much fun on their field trip to Little Beakers!
