Zayne Haskins won the opportunity to be a PE teacher for a day! ⚽️ 🏃

Zayne had the best time leading his peers in their daily workout, being the referee with his special whistle, and even grabbing his lunch of choice with Miss Clark! 🌮

Thank you, Zayne, for being a fantastic PE Teacher! 👏

Today, in the middle of celebrating our incredible teachers, we paused to recognize someone who keeps our school running in a whole different way—our amazing nurse, Erin. 💙🩹

From bandaging scraped knees and handling bloody noses to being there for the unexpected moments, Nurse Erin shows up for our students day in and day out with care, calm and compassion.

But her impact goes far beyond what we see! She’s constantly working behind the scenes to keep medical forms updated, plans in place and our students safe and supported in every way.

We are so grateful for the dedication and heart she brings to our school each and every day. Thank you, Nurse Erin, for taking such incredible care of our kids! ❤️‍🩹

🌽🌻 Teacher Appreciation Week is in full bloom at our Farmers Market! 🍎 🧺

We’re celebrating the cream of the crop— our amazing Schaefer teachers who plant seeds of knowledge and help our students grow and flourish every day. 🌱

Here’s what’s fresh this week:

💧 Monday: WaterTok Bar
Sip, mix, and refresh with custom drinks—because even the hardest-working growers need to stay hydrated!

Happy Principal’s Day to the one who keeps it all running and still finds time to be right there with our students, Mr. Rudy! 💙💛

Your hands-on approach, genuine care, and the heart you pour into Schaefer Elementary make a difference that’s felt in every hallway, every classroom and every smile. You don’t just lead our school. You show up for it, every single day.

We are so lucky to have a principal who leads with purpose, supports with compassion, and gives his all to our kids and staff. Schaefer Elementary is truly better because of you!

Thank you for everything you do, Mr. Rudy — today and every day! 🐾
