This week, we celebrated incredible student growth on our end of year assessments 🌟 Classrooms across our school enjoyed special celebrations to recognize hard work, perseverance, and achievement.
We also surprised our amazing teachers with sparkling apple juice, confetti, and ice cream cake to thank them for all they do each day. 🍎🎉🍰
Our teachers are truly igniting the future — inspiring growth, building confidence, and helping every student shine. We are so proud of our students and grateful for the educators who make it all possible!

STEM students are crushing it with Project Based Learning (PBL)! 🚀 Check out these innovative projects:

Our level 1 students were learning about structure and function and designed and engineered products to represent animals that they were learning about.

Our Level 5 students engineered parachutes for their rovers and tested them by dropping them over the gym bleachers to find the most effective design! 🛰️

Level 7 students built, designed, and engineered amazing games for other classes, connecting directly to their statistics unit! 🎲

So creative and innovative! See some of their incredible work below.

Pi Day Math Marathon Success! 🧠🎉

To celebrate Pi Day and our focus on math fact and procedural fluency, we held a Math Marathon! This fun math fluency fundraiser also marked the end of our six-week district math pilot. Students dressed as mathematicians, wore purple to represent women in STEM, and had a blast practicing and growing their math facts, including a face-off challenge!

From Preschool to Level 9, every student showed amazing growth with fun, hands-on activities. 🥳
Preschool: Rocked “counting on” with games like Quiz-Quiz-Trade. 🔢
Kindergarten: Boosted brainpower with Fluency BINGO and addition/subtraction games. ➕➖
Level 1: Mastered facts with Math Fact Scoot and Beat the Teacher. 🏆
Level 2: Competed in Fact Fluency Stations and 99 Math challenges. ⏱️
Level 3: Showed mastery on their multiplication/division assessments and played Around the World. 🌍
Level 4: Tackled Multiplication War and their Post District Assessment. ⚔️
Level 5: Focused on fluency with Math Blooket, 99 Math, and an Equivalent Fractions Snowball Fight! ❄️🍎
Team A & B: Completed their post-assessment and competed in a thrilling STEM challenge. 🔬💡
A huge congratulations to our Math Marathon Winners who received prizes, and to our four class winners who will celebrate with a fun obstacle course tomorrow!

We are so proud of the effort and growth our students demonstrated! Thank you to all the families for your support! 🙏 🦁
