🚨 PE Reminder for Parents! 🚨
Please make sure your student is wearing sneakers on PE days — NO Crocs, sandals, boots, or slides! Proper shoes help keep everyone safe and ready to move. 👟💪
Also, if your child brings a water bottle to PE, please make sure it’s filled with only water — no flavored drinks, juice, or sports drinks. The ants are getting a little too comfortable around sugary spills, and we don't want to invite them into the school! 🐜🚫
Thanks for helping us keep things clean, safe, and fun for everyone! 😊

🧠🔍🔬Mrs. Miller’s 4th Grade Surgeons Report for Duty! 🩺📚
Yesterday, Mrs. Miller’s students scrubbed in and took on the role of text surgeons! With gloves on and scalpels (okay, pencils 😉) in hand, they dissected various texts—searching for text features and diagnosing how each one contributed to the author’s message.
From bold headings to helpful diagrams, these young scholars made precise observations and proved they know how to break down complex information like pros!
🧠💡 So proud of their critical thinking and teamwork in the operating room!

✨🧪 Today, Mrs. Terry transformed into Mrs. Terry the Science Experiment Fairy! 🧚♀️🔬
Our 2nd graders rolled up their sleeves and got messy making oobleck as we explored changes in matter. Is it a solid? Is it a liquid? Ask your scientist — they’ll tell you all about it! 😄
It was a day full of memories, messes, and magical learning. Science has never been so fun (or so gooey)! 💚
