This week, as a school, we practiced being REFLECTIVE by showing empathy for others and the world through kind actions! Our Spanish phrase of the week was "Vamos en camión" which means, Let's take the bus. We encouraged all scholars to practice this phrase throughout the day and even at home.

Come meet our new principal before the 3rd-grade performance on Jan. 26th at 5:15pm.

All Rangers spent the week being thoughtful about their past learning from this year.

FROM THE IB --> REFLECTIVE - Reflective people give thoughtful consideration to their own learning and experience. They are able to assess and understand their strengths and limitations in order to support their learning and personal development.

Ms. Nance is one of our super kind kindergarten teachers! She is new to teaching this year and truly cares about every student in her class as if they were her own. We love you, Ms. Nance! THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO!!!
