- A STANDING OVATION to our Cafeteria Staff! The Health Department completed their evaluation and our Cafe received a perfect score of 100!
- KUDOS to Kerry Griffee, Sammy Jo Reyes, and Melissa Pumpian for planning and prepping another amazing STEM Day! The Amusement Park creations are truly a sight to behold! Supplies and materials are funded by our Foundation and lessons are created by Kerry & Sammy Jo! Melissa organizes and delivers all materials.
- APPLAUSE to our PE Team: Sam Dietrich, Chuck Jones, and Jana Troskie! for another amazing year of Jump Rope for Heart! Our total is currently at $24,360 that will directly benefit The American Heart Association.
- TAKE A BOW, Claudia Sandoval! Claudia completed ACCESS Testing for all students on her caseload. This is the most intense standardized test that we administer in elementary school and Claudia ran this testing season flawlessly - and finished ahead of time!
