The theme this year is “You have the Right to be Exceptional.” We are going to be celebrating all week long with videos in the morning to kick-off each day! We also will have Dress Up Days to remind students about our exceptional population. Our Special Education staff nominated students for showing a "Yes I Can" mindset and how exceptional they are as superheroes. The nominees are: Dylan Leatherman (5th gr.), Josue Ayala Dominguez (5th gr.), Maddie Nunez Martinez (pre-K), Wilson Garverick (4th gr.), Josue Reyes Lopez (2nd gr.)

A Note From the P.E. Department
Parents,
During the month of March, students will be participating in an event called “Kids Heart Challenge”. Students in all grades will be jumping rope, short and long ropes, double dutch, and performing tricks with the ropes. If you or your family would like to donate to The American Heart Association fill out the form and send in the cash, check donation, or online by March 29th. Donations are optional but all students will have the opportunity to jump rope.
