​This month I am on a mission to share more about Empower with families! I would love to have you login to Schoology to access your child’s current module, pictures, videos, etc. from class! Please reach out to Mrs. Taylor if you need help setting up your parent account.

October's Maker Challenges!!

Each month a paper copy of the Monthly Maker Challenges come home in backpacks! You can choose to complete one, three, or all of them! Please submit a picture, video or bring in your creation to class! You can launch your challenge to your class and school!


Monthly challenges are a way to EMPOWER the whole family to get involved and be creative! Pick one, three in a row or do them all! HAVE FUN!

October's Empower Hero!!



Each month you can explore all about our monthly Empower Hero! The Empower Hero is someone that inspires, empowers, or encourages others to change the world! They all have one thing in common... their accomplishments changed history and the way we live today!
