Thank you to all of the families who joined us for Open House! 📚✨🏫

Our Spartans were beaming with pride as they had the opportunity to showcase their hard work and share all they have learned this year. From writing samples and art projects to academic growth and classroom accomplishments, it was a special evening for students to celebrate their achievements with the people they love most.

There is nothing more meaningful than watching our students proudly explain their work and seeing the excitement on their faces as their families admired all they have accomplished.

Thank you for your continued partnership and support throughout the school year. Together, we help our students grow, learn, and thrive.

After three weeks of hard work, perseverance, and focus, our Spartans have officially completed the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP)! 🎉📚✏️

To celebrate their dedication, students in grades 3–5 earned Focus Tickets for showing outstanding concentration and effort during testing. At the end of testing, we held exciting prize drawings with rewards including gift cards, pizza parties, and king-size candy bars! 🍕🍫🎁

We are incredibly proud of all of our students for giving their best effort and demonstrating what it means to be safe, responsible, and respectful learners.

Be sure to ask your 3rd–5th grader all about their testing experience and whether they were one of our lucky prize winners!

Congratulations, Spartans! You did it! 💙🧡

What an incredible performance by our talented Spanger Elementary School Music Ensemble! 🎶✨

This year’s ensemble theme, “Kid Stuff,” centered around the dreams, hopes, and aspirations our students have for their futures and for the world they hope to create as they grow up.

Through music, our students shared powerful messages about kindness, courage, creativity, and making a positive difference. It was truly moving to hear such young children express such big dreams and to witness their confidence as they showed our students and families all they are capable of accomplishing.

We are so proud of our performers for their hard work, dedication, and bravery on stage. Their voices remind us that the future is bright and full of possibility. 🌟

Thank you to our amazing music staff for inspiring our students and helping them bring their dreams to life through song.

Our kindergarten Spartans experienced a truly magical moment as they released their butterflies into our school garden! 🦋🌸

After watching the incredible life cycle from caterpillar to chrysalis to butterfly, students were amazed to see their butterflies spread their wings and explore their new home. One of the most exciting parts was observing the butterflies up close as they landed on flowers and used their proboscis to sip nectar—bringing our classroom science lessons to life right before their eyes!

These hands-on experiences create unforgettable learning moments and help our youngest Spartans develop a deeper appreciation for the wonders of nature.

A huge thank you to our amazing Spanger Parent Teacher Club for supporting this special project, and an extra special thank you to our incredible Garden Guru, Sabrina Melhorn, for creating such a beautiful and safe place for our butterflies to land and thrive. 🌿💐

Our kindergarten Spartans wrapped up the school year with a fun-filled End-of-the-Year Picnic! ☀️🫧🎨

Students had an absolute blast enjoying bubbles, colorful chalk creations, and plenty of playtime with their classmates. It was the perfect way to celebrate a year of incredible growth, learning, and friendship.

We are so proud of our youngest Spartans and all they have accomplished this year. From learning letters and sounds to becoming more independent, responsible, and respectful, they have grown in so many amazing ways.

Wishing all of our kindergarten families a wonderful summer! 💙🧡
