Today our Junior High and High School students got to celebrate the end of their first quarter success with a Grit House Rally! Each Grit House designed an escape room to challenge all the students to solve the clues and make their way out — and it was a blast!
Afterward, everyone joined in for a fun game of Friendly Feud, with all the questions centered around school-related topics. Laughter, teamwork, and school spirit filled the gym as students competed and cheered each other on. What an awesome way to wrap up the first quarter!

The fourth grade tackled their first novel of the year this month reading Bunnicula by Deborah and James Howe. They have learned strategies for tackling hard vocabulary, written from the perspective of different characters, and mastered describing setting, characters, and events using details! They can’t wait to check out the other books in the series! 📚

Our third graders worked so hard during the ELA State Test this week! We are incredibly proud of their focus, determination, and positive attitudes. Each student took their time, stayed confident, and truly gave their best effort — and that’s something to celebrate!
A big thank-you to our wonderful families & the cafeteria for donating breakfast treats and snacks to help fuel our brains before testing. Your support helped set our students up for success each morning!
After the test, students enjoyed some well-deserved fun, including extra recess, a class movie, and a few special activities to help them relax and celebrate all their hard work.
This week reminded us that success isn’t just about scores — it’s about effort, teamwork, and perseverance. Way to go, third graders!
