Second and fourth grade drama students recently completed some projects inspired by Hispanic Heritage Month. PAWS is impressed with their work!



First graders are learning about research as they discover more about the life cycles of animals.




Last week, Mrs. Gray's kindergartners explored the weekly question, “How do some living things make what they need?” They learned how bees make honey from nectar, and the student teacher, Ms. Rodriguez, brought in honey for the students to try—making the lesson both sweet and memorable!






We have some spirit days coming up next week! Our student council has done a great job of helping advertise! The corrected dates are : October 21-25. Thanks!

Safe Schools Week is an annual event that raises awareness about the importance of school safety and promotes strategies for keeping students and staff safe.
One of the key strategies for promoting safe schools is to create a culture of safety.
This involves fostering a sense of trust and respect among students, staff, and
parents and encouraging open communication and collaboration.
By creating a positive and supportive school environment, schools can
help prevent incidents of violence and bullying.
PAWS will host some fun dress up days to help foster this positive and supportive environment.
