💚🎄 A certain someone heard it was Grinch Day today and decided to make a surprise visit to our Elementary School! That’s right- the Grinch stopped by to say hello… and cause a little mischief, of course!
We hope his visit brought lots of smiles (and maybe a few giggles) to our students’ faces- it definitely added some extra fun to the day!

📚 Hooked on Books! 📚
Over the past few days, our classrooms have been taking part in Hooked on Books. Each day, a different teacher drops everything so our students can enjoy 20 uninterrupted minutes of reading. It’s been a great way to slow down, spark imagination, and share our love of books!

On Friday, our elementary school celebrated its annual Joy Day, and our students truly embodied the spirit of the season! Throughout the day, they worked on projects aimed at spreading joy in our community, from creating a heartfelt video and handmade cards for residents at local nursing homes to completing small acts of kindness around the building.
And of course… the beloved Joy Day Glow Party made its return! Students had the chance to unwind, dance, and have some well-deserved fun.
It was a day filled with kindness, creativity, and joy — exactly what this season is all about!

This Thanksgiving season, our 6th and 7th grade AVID students took inspiration from the iconic Macy’s Day Parade, but with an academic twist! Instead of the traditional giant balloons, students created their own parade featuring college mascots from universities across the country.
As part of AVID’s focus on college and career readiness, students researched a college of their choice, learning about its history, traditions, and the significance behind its mascot. From fierce animals to legendary figures, each mascot tells a story, and students were excited to uncover the meaning behind the symbols that represent these campuses.
The project blended creativity with inquiry-based learning. After completing their research, students transformed their mascot into a parade-style display balloon. Now, as you walk through our middle school hallway, you’ll see a colorful lineup of college mascots “marching” proudly in our very own school-wide parade.
