We are incredibly proud of our 4th and 5th grade students who participated in this year’s All County Chorus! Our students joined fellow singers from across the district for a special day dedicated to music, collaboration, and growth. Under the direction of a talented guest clinician, they spent the day rehearsing and refining their performance skills before taking the stage for a beautiful evening concert. Their hard work, focus, and enthusiasm truly shined through. Congratulations to our amazing young vocalists for representing our school so well and sharing their voices with the community! 🎵👏

Today our students attended an engaging, high-energy assembly with Box Out Bullying! Through an interactive live show, students learned four powerful rules to help stop bullying and discovered that they each have the power to make a positive impact in our school community. The message was clear: kindness matters, standing up for others makes a difference, and every student has a role in creating a safe and supportive environment. A huge thank you to our amazing PTA for their generous support in making this meaningful event possible. 🧡💚
