✨🌟Our End-of-Year Glow Party was the perfect reward for a year full of learning, new friendships, unforgettable memories, and so much fun. Watching our students shine bright after all their hard work was truly the cherry on top of an amazing school year. 💫
A HUGE shoutout to DJ Ernie Salazar for bringing the energy and keeping the party glowing all afternoon long! Even in retirement from FJ Young, he continues to selflessly pour into our staff and students and we’re so grateful. Your heart for kids and your commitment to our school community do not go unnoticed. Thank you! 🎶🪩✨

Dear Parents/Guardians,

As we are approaching the end of the school year, I would like to remind you that if your child has medication in the Nurse’s Office, you will need to pick those up, no later than 12:30 on Friday May 22nd. Any medications that are not picked up, will be properly disposed of and cannot be held over the summer.

If your child will need medication at school for the 26/27 school year you can get medication forms from the School Nurse or the school website.

Please feel free to call (432) 758-3636 or send a ParentSquare if you have any questions. Thank you. Hope you have a great summer!

Nurse Cavanna

Our first grade students have been busy exploring the amazing world of animals through hands-on learning experiences! Back in March, students researched animals while learning about habitats and diets, and had the opportunity to interact with real hides and skulls.
This week, the learning continued with an exciting Texas wildlife experience! Students explored skulls, hides, and other animal artifacts while learning more about native Texas animals. They matched front and hind footprints to the correct animals, identified different tracks, and even matched animals to their s**t!
These real-world, interactive experiences brought science to life in the classroom and helped students deepen their understanding through curiosity, exploration, and discovery. Special thank you to Mrs. Tarbet for organizing this awesome experience for our students!🦌🐾🦴
