Ride With Pride
Let's Celebrate!
This week we were visited by our Assistant Superintendent Israel Cordero. He had the opportunity to look at our school. He focused on our instructional practice, took a look at our data walls, and asked about our literacy improvement. We were most happy to share with him the about the great strides we have made in the Writer's Workshop.
Teachers we know that you are giving your all each day, and the evidence proves it. Keep striving, we are almost there!

Have you noticed the blue bands that students are wearing around our campus?
These bands are pedometers that monitor the numbers of steps taken in a day. Students are becoming more aware of the importance of exercise and staying healthy. Thank you to Coach Hammond and our upper grade teachers for encouraging our students to earn points that unlock food packets for children in Africa.
