Today is World Read Aloud Day, and our students celebrated in a big way by reading to students in other grade levels. They were so kind and respectful of each other and incredibly proud of themselves for being so smart and brave! Let's celebrate every student reader every day by encouraging them to read to themselves, read to us, and by still reading to them. After all, we are never too old for a good book!

Last week, we had the incredible opportunity to celebrate our students at the Student Achievement Ceremonies! 🎉 It was such a heartwarming experience as teachers and students came together to recognize and celebrate each other’s hard work and dedication. The energy was amazing, and it wouldn’t have been possible without the leadership of our student leaders who hosted the event. 🙌 A huge thank you to them for their efforts! We were also thrilled to have many parents join us for this special occasion, and we hope to see even more at our next Achievement Assembly in April. 💫
It's always a great day to be a Cheetah! Congrats to our basketball and cheer teams for another win today! Our players, coaches, and fans were all in! What a great show of skills and spirit! 🐆 🐾 🏀
