Friday Morning Game Day was a hit in Ms. Scheldt's 2nd grade class! Our students practiced their math facts while working together to choose games, take turns, and strengthen their social skills.
What made it even more special? These centers were completely student-led! It was fantastic to see our young learners collaborating and having fun while reinforcing their academics. Way to go, 2nd graders!
Our 6th grade QUEST classes have been diving into the Wonders of the World! After researching and presenting various Wonders, students showcased their creativity by designing and hosting board games as part of their assessment.
It was amazing to see their knowledge come to life through fun and engaging gameplay! Keep up the great work, QUEST students!

Last week, our PreK classes celebrated the 50th day of school in fabulous 50s style! Students, teachers, and administration joined the fun, dressing up in their best outfits.
They incorporated subjects like math by counting to 50, explored the history of the 50s, and got creative with art activities inspired by the era. From dancing to classic tunes to sharing fun facts about the decade, it was a day filled with joy and learning!
A huge thank you to everyone who participated, making it a memorable celebration! Here’s to many more exciting days ahead.
