3rd Grade Families-
Help us with a fun surprise!! 3rd-grade teachers have created some fun learning activities for the last few weeks before state testing. The purpose is to make learning fun, keep it positive, and share test taking strategies. They would like to surprise students with a testing treat before the exam. We would love for you to shop our Amazon wish list and help us make this surprise happen.

Robotics Club for Kinder/1st/4th/5th
It is finally that time to start robotics club in Kinder/1st/4th/5th. The Youngling team is super excited to be able to help out with this club! Students will be able to use their hands and learn about science and engineering skills. It will be four weeks. Please do not sign up if your child can't make each session.
