Yeehaw! 5th Grade Western Round-Up! 🌵🤠

Our 5th graders had a rootin’-tootin’ good time at our Western Social, and let me tell ya—it was boot-scootin’ fun!

From the moment partners hit the dance floor, it was clear these cowboys and cowgirls were “range”-ing with excitement! We saw some fancy footwork, big smiles, and more energy than a herd of mustangs!

Even our very own SRO, Deputy Rojas, who lassoed some attention when he jumped in for some line dancing to “Cotton Eye Joe!”

A big THANK YOU to all the parents and staff who helped make this event such a success. This was one Western adventure we won’t soon forget!

Glow Party Celebration at Highlands Elementary!

We are so proud to celebrate our amazing Highlands Elementary students who earned a spot at our exciting Glow Party! This special event was a reward for their hard work and dedication on PM3, and they truly shined bright!

Our Kindergarten through 2nd grade students attended by demonstrating proficiency in either ELA or Math, while our 3rd through 5th grade students earned their invitation by showing impressive learning gains from last year to this year.

The energy, excitement, and joy in the room were a reflection of the tremendous effort our students have put in all year long. This Glow Party was just the cherry on top of an already incredible year of growth and achievement!

We are beyond proud of each and every student and all the amazing work they’ve done. Keep shining, Highlands!

What a fantastic turnout tonight for our annual art show!

A huge thank you to all the parents, families, and students who came out to our annual art show and helped make it such a colorful success. Your support truly helps our young artists draw out their creativity and frame their confidence!

We loved seeing the hallways filled with so many masterpieces!

A very special thank you to Mrs. Vina for an incredible night and for all the time, talent, and heart she pours into bringing our students’ creativity to life. The art show truly wouldn’t paint the same picture without her!

Thanks again for making the night so picture perfect! Can’t wait to see what you create next year.

Our 1st graders had an unforgettable adventure at the Orange County Regional History Center! 🏛️✨

From exploring what life was like in “old Florida” to discovering how our community has grown over time, our students were fully engaged every step of the way. They asked thoughtful questions, made real-world connections, and brought history to life with their curiosity and excitement.

A big thank you to the staff at the History Center for making learning so interactive and fun, and to our teachers and chaperones for helping make the day such a success. Experiences like this turn lessons into lasting memories!
